About this image

This is a test shot because I'm still getting to grips with new equipment (an Edge HD 9.25 SCT) and clear nights are so rare that I hardly ever have the opportunity. This time around, the EAF found focus and a new OAG greatly improved guiding. So, two steps in the right direction!
