Galactic Kiwi

My first attempt to use a star tracker. It was quite difficult and uncomfortable to set up, I could find the Octans stars in the scope OK, but it was fiddly to adjust and I was in an uncomfortable position trying to do it. I noticed when I clamped the wedge the alignment would move, the result was I could only get 30 second exposures with a 50mm lens. I will have to practice more! A stack of 4 images aligned and blended in Photoshop after processing without noise reduction in Lightroom.
