Talking It is Finally Working!

I was rewarded to have some really nice clear skies tonight perfect for imaging. This imaging session is dedicated to getting the autoguiding setup working after a couple of problems. I was surprized to get it setup and working in under 5 minutes.

The scope is currently imaging M16 with 5 minute sub exposures and it is producing round stars! I'm absolutely stoked and I can't wait to see the results.

It sure is!

Too bad there is some high cloud drifting in as we speak.

I'm hoping it will clear.

It certainly was a great night last night Matty, the high cloud rolled in around 1:00am and put and end to my night but before then there was some great viewing on offer.

Looking forward to seeing your results.

Cheers
