Astrophotography Session

 My instrument was an Astro-Tech 115 mm apochromatic triplet (extremely low disperson glass) on a Celestron AVX mount and tripod. The ocular was a Tele Vue 32mm Ploessl 52-degree field of view for 25X. The camera was my iPhone 15 (iOS 18.11) mounted on a Celestron NexYX carrier. I was out from 1:05 to 2:30 AM. I shot 19 stills and movies.
