Description

This 3rd effort represents the 1st light test of my new ZWO ASI071MC-Cool. I used SharpCap to acquire the data, and it seemed to work well. I tried using Firecapture, but ran into a driver issue. I'm still trying to optimize the gain and offset settings. Gain was set in SharpCap to 148. Sensor cooling set to -15C.
