Still waiting for new mount tried to image with very modest equipment; ordinary basic objective and toucam pro webcam piggybacked in a Orion ST80 lens telescope, and a shaky table mount.
Hardest part was focusing and the alignment of objective-webcam-rubberband combination.
Image size is 3x3.8 degrees
and the faintest stars here are mag 12.
Yes, that blue blob is the Dumbell nebula.
