Image captured at Perth Observatory. Single test image - no signs of nebulosity! Given this is a 10 minute image in darkish skies, it is beyond being able to be captured with this gear. Tracking errors, the source of which I have yet to find, and coma evident. ST4 cable issue or OAG optical setup issue?
