Description

First light with my new mount, the ZWO AM5. The mount performed very well with a total payload of 20 Lbs without counterweight. The guiding was outstanding over the 3.5 hours, almost a flat line. The Splinter (also known as the knife edge) is such a narrow target, and yet there is so much detail. One of the most beautiful targets in Draco.
