Description

Leo Triplet with the ASI071MC Pro - I should have sub-titled this one "A Comedy of Errors". The data is actually a combo of 3/31/19 and 3/15/19. On 3/31, I put the wrong spacer stack on my scope, so the sensor was not the correct distance from the field flattener. The scope focused OK, but I was wondering why my drawtube setting was different than on 3/15. I was pre-occupied with the driver choice and getting the gain/offset set correctly so I let it slip out of my mind. Even so, the finished product turned out fairly well. The stars at the edges showed some stretching, but not too bad.

Thanks for looking and clear skies!

Pat
