Some testing success!

I managed to get a couple of hours of stuff done tonight between rolling banks of clouds. Managed 2 successes on the equipment front.

1. Managed to get Off Axis Guiding working
2. Managed to get Auto Focus working in SGP

Attached image is 30 minutes of lum data on M20 with the OAG working, was trying to get RGB as well but after I had about 12 minutes of R, the next cloud bank arrived and that was it for M20.
In keeping with my mantra at current of only trying one new thing at a time so I know what is going wrong, this was manually focused.
After the sky cleared a bit I then tested the AF routines in SGP and it all worked well.

Image details:
Scope Stellarvue SVR102T-IS at f5.6
Camera Atik One 6.0
Guiding with Atik GP on OAG and PHD
Mount Orion Atlas AZEQ-G
Captured in Artemis
Stacked with DSS along with an existing master dark and some stretching and cropping done in PS CC2015
10x180s of Lum only

Happy days!!

Malcolm

Nicely done Malcolm, the focus should be a breeze once you get SGP to play along. It changed my life that if for sure haha
