Description

Still working on the dual 132 setup. The MX+ is happy, scopes are happy, infact everything is happy except SGP. For some reason not yet discovered, running two separate instances on separate laptops causes downloads to hang or coolers not to work. So, still sleuthing. Installing a tower PC in the observatory and hoping I can find a solution using it. For now, I use each of the two 132s alone, not simultaneously.

Processing here used ColorMasks in PI, and I think it is a bit too crisp in transitions from one area/color to another, a little cutout-ish looking. Image is cropped a bit as I still need to get the two cameras rotationally aligned, and muddy skies caused less that desired image quality. Still working on this.
