Description

It's always something right? Why can't we just go out, polar align and start snapping away? Guide camera kept cutting out, traced back to the new el cheapo usb hub I got from the dollar store lol. Also, APT would not platesolve this image at all, had to run in the house to check it. Stayed up later than I should have but earlier than usual image nights.

Elephant Trunk Nebula

Got 5 @ 10 minute subs ISO 400. Nikon D5300/AT65EDQ/QHY5LII-M guide camera/Orion mini guidescope/CG5 mount with OnStep upgrades/homemade auto-focuser.

Software: APT/PHD2/Sharpcap/CdC/Pixinsight/PS-ACR.

Surprised I got anything as the subs were just a bunch of stars.
