Description

Trying to come up with software that plays nice with The Sky X that will allow Meridian Flips, use TSX for pointing and plate solving, use @ Focus3 in TSX, and also use Direct Guide in TSX.  So this has me testing CCD AutoPilot. On a 60 day evaluation and I have only 36 days left and I have a total of 4 hours under clear skies. I think I am getting a good understanding of it but have not quite conquered @Focus3. This image is my first run of CCD Autopilot and all seemed to go ok except getting the focusing integrated properly.  Major learning curve with all this new software and no clear sky time to get my head wrapped around it. UGH!!!
