The cluster is very difficult to see as it's only 12° above the horizon.
Pictures were made with Nikon D7500 and TAL200K f/8.5. Setting ISO2000 and 12x45s exposure time. The moon was 92% and very low above the horizon.

Globular Cluster M68
Globular Cluster Messier M68 is located in constellation Hydra and about 33000 light years away from Earth and thus still within our own galaxy, the Milky Way.
The cluster is very difficult to see as it's only 12° above the horizon.

Whirlpool Galaxy M51
Pictures taken with Nikon D7500 and TAL200K f/8.5 and setting ISO6400 21x60s (total exposure 21minutes). The mount was connected with Stellarium and camera connected with DigiCamControl Software. Raw pictures converted to DNG and stacking using DeepSkyStacker. Final editing with CS4.
Venus with TAL200K
On the evening of April 9th, Venus was observed using TAL200K f/8.5. As Venus is very bright (magnitude -4,2) it's difficult to see the phases of Venus. Using very low exposure time and ISO setting at 100, I was able to photograph current phase of Venus of about 41%.

Comet C/2019 Y4 Atlas with TAL200K
This evening, just before Moonrise, I took some pictures of Comet C/2019 Y4 Atlas. Setting with Nikon D7500 and TAL200K f/8.5 ISO3200 and exposure time of 120s.
The exposure time was realized by connecting DSLR Nikon with DigiCamControl Software. This was my first time I did use the software. No issues were found and no interferance with Stellarium which was connected to the mount. Below is a jpg file edited with CS4.
