Paul, amazing that you got anything down at all.
Some times this hobby just pushes all the wrong buttons
I have in the past done full formats/ reloaded the operating system and drivers and managed to get a glimpse of stars only to find clouds rolling in all in the wee small hours of the morning with work coming the next day.
You were really pushing the 'Murphy's Law' with all the new gear you have.
So well done on your first light... a nice reward.
You'll certainly be having some fun now!
