5 hours of #Astrophotography with bad guiding gives me a poor 🔭 picture but a great #BlueSkyArtShow #blur picture. Six vaguely usable images out of 132 is all I ended up with, so here's my really crappy Iris Nebula. - ThreadSky

I've had so many nights like this it makes me sick to think about it. Nothing worse than having to throw out a whole night! Next time! 👍

Same. At least I know why it failed. My guidescope rings slipped and it was aimed at something completely not on axis. The funny thing is, when I went back a few nights later and got this shot, I did it without any guiding at all! 😀
