Thanks all. Yep cloud everywhere tonight

It’s a CGX mount and the laptop is a MSI GS73

I was very keen to take some images with it tonight so I kind of rushed the alignment and guiding setup. It’s running at 1.5” total rms at the moment but I think I can improve on that by doing a decent alignment and taking some darks. Also the cloud cover keeps tripping the alarm for lost star/change in mass.

I also need to figure out the right gain levels for the longer exposures. I’ve always used 200 gain with 30 second subs. That is a bit much for 5 mins and 15 mins is a white screen.

This is my first image which is very rushed and not processed properly. It’s 4x5min subs.
