The harder I try the worse it gets.
The ethernet cable was dragging the stars around so oval stars that ruined my day..er night,
I have been suspicious about my focus but happily I finally got the focus better thanks to John (Oskar) a leader in the field of Astrophotography who helped me out with some excellent advice..thanks John
However this is the first image obtained while the rig was controlled via Asiar plus and my tablet while laying in bed giving me a return on my investment of time and money in the ethernet connection to the observatory....the meridian flip got fouled by the new ethernet cable but as I was watching via my two security cameras, I was able to call a halt and drive down to sort it all out...
Gear.. Askar 130, ZWO mount, OAG, 2600 mono...this was a RBG and I tried my new learning to control the colour but as I learnt that last week most of it I had forgotten.... four hours at 120 seconds after culling 5 hours
But nevertheless, I am very .happy with this image compared to what I have been getting lately ..the oval stars had me very worried thinking tilt at first...anyways..the stars here are not bad and I will hold onto that aspect of the journey...guiding was under .40
