Description

Stellarvue 70mm, .8 reducer, ZWO ASI 071MC-Cool, Orion Atlas Pro, Orion 50mm guide scope, Lodestar X2 guide camera, Moonlite focuser. SG Pro, Photoshop CC and Pixinsight. 35 60 sec exposures. Darks, flats, and bias used. Issues with stars at the edges. Taken from my driveway in Durham. Lots of light pollution and some high level clouds. My mono camera is being repaired so I decided to see what I can do with the 071 from home. I need to fiddle with the spacing to get the stars at the edge better. The objects were pretty low in the sky so some streetlights caused problems along with trees and haze. Focus got off a bit too.
