Description

Decided to give EAA a try for the first time using my little ZWO ASI224MC. It has a very narrow field of view, so it wasn't easy. Polar alignment in SharpCap helped and using Carte Du Ciel with Celestron CPWI. I managed to capture some decent frames of the Ring Nebula in about 4 minutes. 8 second exposures at 470 Gain for 29 frames total live stack. No darks or flats.

I'm waiting to get my new ZWO ASI294MC Pro for EAA and get into some deep sky astrophotography. For now playing around with my planetary camera, good practice.
