Thanks. It's very challenging but rewarding. I would love to go to a Dark Sky one day with some gear.

Awesome pic. I'm in the planning stages for a spring/summer trip to S Central Oregon when the moon is new. Last attempt was ruined by the wildfires blocking the sky.

Sadly, yeah. Won’t be able to afford a tracking mount for a few months. By then Orion will be gone, but there’s always next winter.

UH, there are plenty of targets in spring and summer that can be shot quite well with a tracking mount. Why wait until next winter to get your chops? Orion is great but there is lots of sky.
