NGC 5395 - The Heron Galaxy

[Parallax]

My first time out this month and I was definately out of practice. I used the side-by-side mounting bar for the first time and I was sure that something was wrong when I was getting star trails. After half an hour I realised that I was guiding on a hot pixel
