I am beginning yet again...trying to get my new cameras working on the 80 mm before I start on the RASA
After such a long time not doing anything i forgot everything...so first night was only to do polar alignment but I thought I would try the zwo 2600..I tried the osc and got message that the camera disconnected, so restarted, changed cables but found out after a goggle the camera needed power which I had not bothered with because I thought it was for cooling by then
I had put on the zwo 2600 mono ..anyways i wasnt after images as I could not get good polar align because of cloud but took 21 subs of only 8 seconds of M42 before it went behind the trees ....and could not even find my focuser mask.. but as I have a new lap top and all new programs I
i wanted something to just run thru stuff.
new DSS no problems but Start Tools threw me but I went thru and produced this which I post as part of testing...it is only a total exposure of 2.5 minutes...nothing..funny my first stack I had 3x drizzle on 18500 x12700..that slowed things down a little

i dont know what to expect so here goes...I ended up with 200 odd kb..so probably a waste of time.

mmm ok but this was no drizzle and you could see the trap sort of in that one..
I dropped 3x drizzle cause processing was so slow..trap looked like a 4 leaf clover.
it is so good to be doing something again
