Gear and Attempt

We used a 8" Celestron OTA and a AVX mount to track, with a Sony mirrorless camera mounted to the OTA. These pictures were captures using a very simple long exposure and a manual press of the shutter button.

The pictures of deep sky objects were taken at a very dark location on a clear night with a new moon, and processed with Darktable.

The moon was obviously captured on a very bright moonlit night.
