Description

M42 through the D800/TAK106n. Some crappy cloud gradients last night really limited what I got. I didn't run autofocus and I was ops testing my pole master as a guider using a 50mm CCTV lens. It worked (v1.44 ASCOM driver, PM if you want it). It wasn't the best as you can see. I think I'm going to take a finder I have laying around and see if I can get a nose piece fashioned for it and give it another try. Less cameras... less stuff going on.
