Ad Astra Observatory

At long last, I have a scope that can give me a shot at M31 again.
This is a “test shot” from the first light of Pumpkin, the new 66mm refractor.
There is FOV to spare on the little scope.

Hand-focusing sucks, especially without a diffraction spike rig to help out.
Pretty bright moon washed out a lot of the dimmer parts of the galaxy.
Definitely a worthy target on a better night, though.
