Bear with me, these are my first EAA DSO captures turned into images. EAA is not traditional long sub imaging, but rather composites of short exposure/frames aligned and stacked within Sharpcap as captured. Primarily intended to be viewed on a laptop screen as they are Live Stacked, and not turned into real astrophoto quality images. It is effectively an observational enhancement tehnology. Do not worry too much about star shapes.

Here are a few of mine from last night. Camera is the ASI294MC (non-cooled version), scope is a Skywatcher ED150 reduced to f6,8. Not guided just normal tracking by my CGX.

Captured by Sharpcap as FITS, converted to JPGs with a bit of basic tweaking in an old Photoshop Elements version, saved at reduced size for posting here.

Why do EAA at all your asking yourself, well it is fast, augmented visual observation technology, without the need for hours of data, or sophisticated stacking in DSS and post capture image processing software. In my case, due to failing eyesight, it allows me to still participate as I can no longer do long form imaging, and my visual observations require enhancement as provided by EAA.
