This is my first real attempt at doing this, my gear is in sig below. I did this using only Sharpcap live planet stacking.

Used a astro tech x2 focal extender in the 4 inch AT refractor. I live in a apt. whose view is due east only overlooking the downtown area of Fort Worth.

I have a 10 deg to 35 deg of the east as my only seeing of night sky, below that are lights and apt. buildings, above that is my roof line from porch so I make due with what I have.

I have only been at this for a little over a month, pics of rig also.
