Default astro: m83

1x120 sec
Intes MK-69 (6" f/6 Mak-Cass 900mm fl)

I was impressed with this being only a single 2 minute shot.

Looks like you have pretty good seeing for this guy. It is a horizon
scraper up here so another I won't be imaging. That's one that could
use a bit more focal length however. You should be able to pull a heck
of a lot more out of it with an hour's worth of data instead of 2 minutes.

Correct domain name is arvig and it is net not com. Prefix is correct.
Third character is a zero rather than a capital "Oh".
