This was through the main telescope (11″ diameter 2800mm eff. focal length) bender16v. I was there at 4am to set up the scope for tracking while I still had stars to guide me. Then, yes, I just waited till the appointed time and watched through the lens to trigger the shutter.

BTW, PRINT THAT PUPPY!

I’m glad for you, really, but you’ve benefited enough from our collective wishes of good luck. We’ve documented our powers, it’s time to be fair about this.
Let’s start wishing linquine good luck in finding large diamonds in his backyard or couch cushions. When he has those, we move to the next. Deal?
