As for the image, I like it a lot. It's taken piggyback with one short
exposure and no wedge.

1st time I ever tried such a shot and this was with a Nikon D300 and a
Tamron 90 DI Macro lens, ISO 1000 and 64 seconds. That's near the
limit without an EQ wedge due to field rotation. I was also happy with
it since the Scope was sitting on my wood deck!

Oh......

Here is another, not very good, image of the same object!
