Quick Cone
Had a first light with a new Camera (ZWO ASI1600MM-Pro) and EFW (with HaLRGB filters). What should have been about exploring these things turned into a battle with my focuser, SGP and a Rigel nSTEP auto focuser. Basically the focuser was turning in the wrong direction, the tube was slipping and I hadn’t tightened the focus motor to the focuser wheel well enough. Hours of wasted time! But hey, seems typical with my experience of things Astro lately after getting back on the horse :-)
Cone Nebula 6x5 minute exposures in Ha manually focused! Not much time but happy with the camera and can’t wait to add to the image (give the Nebula will disappear over the Western horizon soonish).
