Description

I have waiting on this data for a while due to weather. We had thunderstorms and the front cleared at night. In spite of heavy dew, I managed to get RGB data !

I also had run into some calibration problem with the QHY294 and with QHY's technical help, it turned out to be ASCOM driver issue and they had me update it. I realized that it is a good time for me to jump from SGP to NINA (which I have been contemplating for a while). NINA uses native SDK as well and calibration working well with the tests I ran. 
So this is fully shot using NINA on my remote observatory. The Plugins (hocus focus, 10Micron, ground control) have been really good and the advanced sequencer took a bit of work to get used to , but it is now setup and this is the first image from it! Very happy so far with it.
