First narrow band no photo yet.

Last night was excellent.
I took until 11-30 sorting stuff out.
But I finally got it all working and was able to sit at the lappy pick the object and slew to it from the sky chart although it needs fine tuning I am just so happy that it was so close without a star align or changing the long and lat settings which did not occur to me until after I located my first target.Luck was with me☺
I found the focusing assistant tool quiet good.
I chose M8 as I can compare my results with the nikon effort.
I managed only 30 second captures as I think I knocked polar align out having spent time getting it right with polemaster.
But I took 15 in each of the filters so hopefully I have something to play with.
When I came in I could not find the images at first but I was happy because it worked better than I expected.
Anyway found them but wont be able to do much with them as the lappy takes so long.
Again thanks to everyone who has helped me on this mission as I could not have done it without your support.
Alex
