Orion´s sword

It was nice last Friday, so I thought I'd pull my new mount out into the field, put it all together and do a test run.

Well ... for the first time... quite a tragedy, the communication between the individual devices was astrocious. I could almost do nothing + terrible seeing conditions.

I didn't think about the target, I just pointed my camera to the Orion, let it run for a while and as I was very tired, after a few exposures I fell asleep, woke up after 1 hour (frankfully) and packed home.
