Description

I finally get some clear skies, but they were of poor seeing/transparency and windy too. Oh well, decided to image anyway. Unbeknownst to me, my ASI1600MMC was shooting at 0 gain because of SGP's convoluted new method of gain adjustments that overrode the camera's ASCOM settings. Didn't have autofocus running yet on the new scope either. Amp glows are from a lack of darks that I haven't gotten around to making yet. This imaging session was more playing around than anything.

I've not done the Rosette in narrowband before, got lots of Ha, but very little in OIII/SII. I would like to really go deeper once I get my equipment issues settled, but I think I'll have to wait until next year.
