ironed out bugs. m20

After nearly a month I've ironed out the bugs in my setup and now find it quite reliable. This was basically a test of the setup at only 24x5 minute lights but I'm happy to say I didn't lose a single sub to alignment, guiding or focus problems.

I followed this up with 50x5 minute subs of corona australis however the light pollution in my area precluded me from properly capturing the finer details through the skyglow. The data was dumped however the upside was that in 74 x 5 minute frames the focus was continuously good and my guiding never missed a beat.

So this is 24x300s @ -15c
40x300s darks @ -15c
Sbig st2000xcm + c130slt on belt driven heq5 pro.
Self guided in ccdsoft, focused via robofocus+@focus.
