About this image

Dark skies in Alice Holt Forest. Farnham Astronomical Society Member. Trialing my new QHY PoleMaster polar alignment camera and software. Excellent product and managed to easily and quickly polar align my refracting scope. 60 second exposures resulted in negligible drift. M2 is a beautiful globular cluster worthy of viewing.
