I was out playing with guiding again last night and was taking shots of a cluster near the zenith, worked not too bad with guiding between 1.5 and 1.8 arc seconds RMS. Once done I swung around to the Tarantula and was amazed I was getting an RMS if less than 1! Setup for an hour of 3 minute subs at iso400 and came back inside watching via TeamViewer. Unfortunately things went haywire after just 3 subs and the laptop was nearly out of juice. I assume I snagged a cable or similar. But for just 9 minutes I’m amazed, can’t wait for new moon so I can put some serious time into this one!
