NGC1955 - Despite Ekos being annoying
Evening all,
I won't bore you with tales of meridian flips that didn't flip, nor focusers that wouldn't focus, nor aligning that got totally bent... Suffice to say it was a night of frustration and swearing at Ekos for it's refusal to behave.
However, out of the mess, I captured enough data to get a reasonable image of NGC1955. (My thanks to whoever imaged this a couple of weeks ago - it's an interesting target.)
As always, comments and feedback welcome!
Cheers,
V.
