Description

I wanted to try something different for a change. After realizing that tracking a planet with  ASICap and an ST4 cable is quite straightforward and understanding how stacking, sharpening, and post- processing work in batch mode, I was happy to be rewarded with good seeing throughout the next night. 
As I left my gear unattended and went to bed after everything was set up, I was pleased to discover that not only did the planet remain centered but also the scope kept its focus due to not much temperature drift during the session.

This animation covers approximately 4.5 hours (198 x 82s (40ms x 2000)) captured on October 1, 2023, from 01:45 to 06:15, using my 7-inch Mak.
