M3 (Andrew Farrow) 27.4.22 Exposure 30secx780sec Lightroom and-DeNoiseAI-standard ES 127 Triple and Atik Infinity camera The three images from tonight, M3, M51 and M101 allowed me to test the new concrete pillar I recently installed. The pillar and EQ6 mount are now permanently in position. All the targets were in the FOV and off centre by a similar amount so a little refinement required.
