M17-Omega Nebula on 7/3/08

Well, apparently the scope still works after its fall. I also noticed that it sheared off one of the adjustment screws on the finder scope (that must be why it’s misaligned), but that should be easy to replace. Overally, I got off pretty easy. It could have been a lot worse. The image above is a few 15s images stacked. My alignment wasn’t very good tonight and I really just wanted to make sure everything still worked. I also got a couple more images for my Messier Hunt. I really want to finish that this month and that shouldn’t be hard because the areas of the sky that I need are up at a reasonably time now.
