Hello! Yes, the M101 was taken in SG, but I'm planning on gathering data for a better shot in the near future (when the clouds clear).

How ironic: when we're free for a month, there are clouds, so we don't do AP; and now when we're busy again, there are no clouds, and we've restarted AP :mryellow: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FWovldxaUAIbMPf?format=jpg&name=4096x4096 Veil Nebulae Shot on 27/6/2022 from 12am to 4am and 2/7/2022 f...

(I really like your pictures, by the way, very nice work :D I hope I can be as good as you one day) I didn't expect the camera to still be useful for astrophotography after I botched the pc control port Ah, about that; I tested it and it still works feel kinda ...
