Description

Still dealing with the vibration issue.  This was taken on the same days as my M13.  
This was a nice test of what the system can do.  Even with the vibration sort of stretching things, i'm still very pleased with the detail i was able to get on the galaxy.  More time would really be needed to get the rest of the dusty bits around it's partner galaxy.

I had some more ideas going forward on how to reduce the vibration.
