Mostly Cygnus...

...24th August whilst gathering DSO data.  A 'play' with a Move Shoot Move tracker.  Laser pointer polar alignment.  Canon 6D MkII, Sigma 50mm.  10 x 100s, f2.8, iso 1600.  4 dark frames.  DSS and PS.

Much better to see when clicked.  Turned out okay   Paul

That’s lovely, Paul. Beautifully processed. 
 

How did you find the MSM? Every so often I think about it as an alternative to the SA, which is a clunky old beast to lug around in the pack.

Clearly a great lens, that Sigma, too.

That’s a really interesting and eye catching image.

@FenlandPaul the MSM is a compromise between weight/stability/accuracy.   I don't intend to go longer than 120s at 50mm on a full frame.  Very portable and the laser alignment is really easy (northern hemisphere) once you've collimated it.

I use an Alyn Wallace Z mount as a wedge.  Usually adjusting tripod legs as its tightened right up! Paul.
