I am lucky to have the opportunity to have my imaging rig set at a remote observatory in Spain @PixelSkiesAstro and with the help of David and Michelle, to be able to learn on how to manage my rig from distance using NINA, PHD2, Voyager (there are still loads to learn here) and etc. I took my rig to Spain about 2 weeks ago and since then, trying to learn how to set things up but, the cool thing is that I am able to image almost every night (bar one night, due to clouds). Probably this is the best "upgrade" I have done so far!The rig is based on:
- ZWO AM5
- WO Redcat61
- ZWO ASI2600MM
- Antlia LRGB Pro + SHO 2.8mn filters
- Pegasus Powerbox
- OAG - L + ASI290MM
- ZWO EAF
- Mini PC, APC UPS, ASI178MM + all-sky camera
Although the moon was high and over 70% full every night, I used this time to learn how to use software and test that everything was working as expected. I am coming from AsiAir and the transition to NINA and etc, was fast but, not without its challenges. Here is the first image, moon was around 80% and I managed to get:Ha: 23 x 300secSII: 25 x 300secOIII: 25 x 300sec+ flats, darks and bias Integrated and processed with PI, used the Xterminator suite + Foraxx. What I am really happy with, is the level of detail with just 6 hrs of data.
