Our home galaxy deserves more than the mere 5 minutes I captured last year. This time it is 33 minutes tracked with the new mount. The image is unguided and no dither was used. The mount tracked to well that no star alignment was needed. The over tracking error was less than 0.3 pixels or less than 16''. The polar alignment was made by polar scope.
