So here we are, clouds are gone, I'm back from China. Last week I weeded the observatory (someone forgot to put the floor in before going to China for a few months). On the weekend I threw my mount in the observatory, did a little bit of making sure it's pointing south and that's about it.
Today was first light for the year, or rather since summer. So I slew to A Crux.....
Dead on smack bang in the middle of the frame, and perfectly in focus.
I actually did a quick check to see if there wasn't another binary star near ACrux. This is literally the first time I have ever put my scope out where it hit a target first go without syncing or using that weird spiral motion command in EQMOD.
I was on such a high I just started imaging. Mind you I didn't drift align so my guiding graph looks like the Rocky Mountains during an earthquake but hey we can't win them all right
