Corona Australis Aussie Style

Some of us Aussies are lazy sods, unlike Greg's great image, this is only 46 mins worth of subs @ 2 mins each using the Sony A7s OSC camera.

Still only testing and developing the imaging system at this stage, lots yet to improve but making pleasing progress.

Managed to find the zoomed live view for focusing, but it's hardly optimal twiddling knobs with fat thumbs compared to elec. focusing! Esp at these focal lengths. Just received the helical focuser for the guidecam, and Gold Focus for the main cam. So once I can calibrate the guidecam focus to the Sony, focus should be far better.

Managed to get Maxim DL humming for guiding, but then have discovered I have a seriously loose TSOAG9 OAG camera connection! Once I solidify that I hope the guding will be far better. Oh, and I still need to fine tune the RCC1 corrector.
