Description

First light of my new, portable rig. A Redcat 51 refractor with my DSLR on a star tracker. Not a great image, but a successful test. It's "galaxy season" and there aren't any good widefield targets. I took this as Orion was sinking—low in the evening twilight and looking through lots of atmosphere. The artifact at the bottom is a tree branch.
