Description

First time using the new scope for real. Predictably, I had a few issues that slowed me down but eventually everything got up and running. Unfortunately my camera seems to be plagued by some sort of thermal banding issue. The first half of my subs had heavy banding. Since it stopped roughly halfway between when I got everything running and moonrise the dark frames couldn't help. Because of this I was forced to omit the first half of subs. I was only left with 26 minutes worth. I did what I could and am ok with the result given the absurdly low integration time. This isn't going to win any awards tho.
