Description

I managed to get 4 hours on the Rosette last night with some decent guiding. I even solved an issue I have been having. During acquisition the last few times it appears that guiding and even tracking suddenly stops, I worked out last night that the mount had reached its Meridian limits and I needed to manually perform a meridian flip, problem solved.

I have also been working through many, many PI tutorials and have come up with an image I am actually quite happy with for a beginner.
