And that function also allows you to nudge the image around to get the FOV you want. So I was finally able, last night, to power up the new AM5 with my ASI533MC Pro and an Optolong L-Enhance filter. Trouble was the 90% moon - despite the filter, it still washed out the subject pretty much.
But just to show I did manage tofind it, here's the end result of last night's efforts - 3.5 hours worth in 95% moon.
Still, the mount was great and I can look forward to some cool clear skies - maybe next year!

Very nice, Peter! Glad it all worked out and that you got a terrific image from the effort.
