Clear night

Was able to sneak in a few hours of astrophotography this evening. My son had a friend sleep over and both had fun looking at Saturn before heading inside. I had some trouble getting the mount aligned tonight for some reason. The goto function was horribly off. I did a complete restart, and things seemed ok after that. First target, M5.  Shot 13x25" subs with corresponding dark frames.  I then swung around for M61 (spiral galaxy) and shot 21x25" subs with corresponding dark frames. Can't wait to get these into stacking and post processing.
