ST-4000XCM, 3600s total exposure 1/13/12 Palo Alto, CA


This is my first attempt to obtain a real image with the ST-4K camera. This was from our patio, so the lighting conditions were very bad, with a bright sky and a nearby lamp shining directly onto the telescope. This was with autoguiding- two 1200s exposures and four 300s exposures.

This should have been a good target, but I was having a lot of trouble with wind shaking the scope. I was only able to use about half of total exposures.
