First Light with New Rig

Lst night, under a Bortle 2 sky, I got the ASI Air Pro talking to the Nikon D850, the Skywatcher EQM35 mount, the ZWO 120mm guide scope and my iPad to control everything.
I cannot even remember what I was imaging, I was just so excited to make it happen. 30 ea 30 sc exposures.

Nice first light mate.
Looks like a little bit of star drift, polar alignment is critical even when guiding mate
overall well done.

My guide camera, as I discovered last night, was not controlling through the ASI AIR. I have a lot to learn.

Nice shot looks like you captured the Omega and Eagle nebulas in the image.
