Nicely done....and very cool.
Thanks Peter. This was 1st light with the MX+ and I didn’t have the time to do more than a 50 point T-Point model. I ran the PA procedure then I had to slew to the JWST before it disappeared behind the tree line.

So, I didn’t have time to run the PEC Routine or calibrate a Guidescope, which left me shooting 2 minute unguided subs at 1640mm fl, so the stars are a little ragged.

Thanks John, it was a beast of a session as I was enjoying 1st light with a new mount, new OTA and new camera, so quite a steep learning curve.

Thanks Peter, as you probably know, we have been under clouds for what seems like weeks now, so it was fabulous to get out again and use all my new gear.

Thank you Peter and Clare , I appreciate your comments. In spite of a nearby Moon and the tree line, I enjoyed the session. Seems that Peter is a popular name amongst IIS Astronomers.

Thanks Adam, I initially though I had failed but I persisted with the data mining and managed to find a few photons.

Thank you Herc, I appreciate your comments. It was a bit of a frantic session to grab a set of images before the JWST disappeared below the tree line.

Cheers
