M66 First Try
by Mike Hankey, under Galaxies
Here’s my first attempt at M66. I took it in the same session as M65, all conditions were the same. This is aproximately 7 frames at 1 minute each. This is a non-guided shot as you can see from the enlongation with the background stars. Not bad for the first time. I have to get my balance and polar alignment down better before I start guiding again. Still I’m happy with these results and look forward to when I can try this again with the auto guider on.
