I need a scope with a motorized equatorial mount so I can track constellations and other smaller, less bright objects without resulting in a trail. Again, excellent shot. I'm amazed at the detail you have captured.

Hey Tifosi248F1, this picture is a slight crop...I just trimmed some black off of the sides to centre the moon in the shot. As for my mount, it's a plain old equatorial mount without a motor, so for now, I'm sticking to the brighter objects and constellations. I would love to have a better telescope with a motorized mount but it's not in my budget, so I try to make the best of what I have. Thanks for the compliments!
