NGC-55 The Whale Galaxy & First light
So I got my ASIair Plus on Tuesday & ASI294MC Pro, so this is a first light/attempt with the two.
Had a 2hr opening last night (9pm-11pm) so I thought I would give the units a test run to understand how they all work. WOW! Setup with the ASIair is soooo easy I cant get over it! Did some basic EAA to show the wife then had hr spare and decided to find a target high in the sky and shoot what I could. No planning and no intention to attempt, but the system was that easy... I just had too.
Wasn't expecting anything much for 40mins of time, but I was very impressed with the camera and whole eco-system. Now just have to refine my workflow to get those round stars.
