Caldwell 38 Needle Galaxy

I have been working on a new Telescope set-up using a Celestron SCT C6, Pegasus Astro Focus Cube Zero, Starizona 0.63 reducer. Specifically bought this set-up for galaxy season which is upon us. The weather finally cooperated Thursday night for the first time in a long time so decided to do some initial set-up work to try and get everything working such as guiding, plate solving, auto focusing just to mention a few things that needed to be done. It all went well and around midnight I decided to take a few test shots of Caldwell 38 AKA "The Needle Galaxy". It was only 2 hrs. worth of data and was only meant to be a test but, the pictures looked good in NINA so I decided to process them. Not bad for 2 hrs.
