Default B33-NGC434 Horse Head Nebula
My first on this subject being unguided made it difficult. waiting for my Ha filter that never showed up(back ordered) i decided to process this photo and later combine with Ha when ever it arrives. Clear Skies!

Hi Miketmbt maintaining a close to acurate polar alignment amd a very good drift alignment will help substancialy. the cge mount pec is another item to consider i have mine down to aprox. 8 from 17 at factory and finally balance of the tube (scope) moving the weights at east/west meridiam. so when my auto guider arrives (trifid nugget, YankeeRobotics) the guider will have minimum corrections.
