That is very cool, Mike! When you say guiding - I'm guessing you mean a star tracker, since your SS was 5 minutes? May I ask which one, and what 600mm? I have the iOptron SkyGuider Pro, and it wouldn't be able to hold either my 180-600 or my 600mm f4G.

Ah, so you're using dedicated astro equipment. And I looked at some of your images - impressive work!

I'm jealous! Afraid I have quite a few years still ahead of me. Enjoy yourself!
