Initial test shoot\first light

[Hals]

Here's my initial test shoot from last night, uncropped, 20 lights, 10 darks, 10 bias no flats:  unguided 30 sec exposure with manual focus without a Bahtinov mask (it's in the post). It's just a random area of sky in Cygnus I didn't target anything just wanted to see how the stars were. I think they're pretty much round right to the edge. Very quickly processed but I'm happy with the result so far. I was hoping for a good result with the WO Z71 but dreading stretched stars or trailing. Now for some proper targets...Onwards and upwards.

That's very encouraging - well done!

A bit more processing, a bit noisy but at least I caught the Crescent Nebula, albeit faintly !
