About this image

Fun for a lazy astronomer with new kit! System including iPhone software easily set up. No polar alignment and objects readily found. Portability enabled access to low sky Canis Major clusters although inevitable light pollution. Stacking was rather fastidious for whatever reason only about 30% acceptance so these sample images took about 10 minutes each.
