Guiding - ED80 with Orion Star Shoot autoguider on Takahashi EM400 mount.

Notes - Very happy with this image. It is a significant improvement over the last time I tried imaging this target. The GSO is really sharp and I can see that they will be great value for any person looking for an affordable imaging telescope..
