First Light CarbonStar 150 Newtonian M13

M13, the Hercules Cluster, was my first light with the new Carbon Star 150mm Imaging Newtonian. After several days of collimation, testing, getting NINA to auto-focus, switching from off-axis guiding back to guidescope guiding, and dealing with several other issues that actually caused me to wear a trail in my backyard grass from my house to my pier, I was able to get everything going last night and capture this first light image of M13. I'm pretty satisfied with the collimation and the image in general. I can't wait to get this very fast f/3.8 Newtonian under some dark skies and out of my Bortle 7 light-polluted skies of Davie, Florida.

Tonight, I will be adding a main mirror mask that I 3D printed and will be testing on m106 if the weather holds up.
