About this image

Following on from my post concerning testing out this new mount (picture of M57) Albireo a very useful star to fine focus in "live view" on the Nikon. This was also an unguided shot with my CGX mount, 1x 60s, colours are very striking, once again pinpoint round star images.So mount is consistent over 60s unguided with 1800mm focal length
