first good piggyback

I just thought I would post the link to the first piggybacked photo that
I am actually pleased with. Any constructive critisism would be
appreciated because much of what I have read on this forum has been
helpful so far.

Nice. Especially considering the location. Arcata can be very opaque in
summer.
Take 'em to Kinkos and have some posters made.
They're wonderful.

Pretty nice, but the tracking is off. All the stars are distended
vertically. I don't know what causes that specifically.

Very nice. Did you do guiding or just let the scope mount run in RA?

Yes, and tell us the cost...I am in for one...

The camera was piggybacked on my Meade ETX-70AT ontop of a homemade
wedge. For this picture I just let the scope track without any help
from me. This particular scope is not really cut out for accurate deep
sky tracking, but next time I might try for a longer exposure and some
guiding through the eyepiece.
