Shakedown for first light with new rig. Limited window of sky at my location meant short time on each target. Spent less than one hour exposure each on bright nebulae, a cluster and a galaxy. Minimal processing but I'm excited for the potential. First target was the North America Nebula. Rig: William Optics Redcat 71 (338mm f/5), ZWO ASI294MM Pro (monochrome), ZWO 8-filter wheel (used 7: LRGBSHO). 160mm Orion guide scope with ZWO ASI290MM Mini. All on a ZWO AM5 (no need for a counterweight!) mount.
