Sadr to the crescent nebula - and first light with the Redcat 51

Sadr to the crescent nebula

Poor weather spoiled my first light session with the #redcat51 but I was able to salvage 18 mins of data on the Sadr Region of Cygnus to see the potential of this super little scope before the clouds rolled in. Need to sort out the balance, polar alignment and guiding for the Star Adventurer mount I'm using on this portable rig but I have to say I'm happy with 2 minute unguided subs, even at this focal length ?

Looking very promising there Chris.

What camera did you use.
