Description

Big night of firsts! Second light on the new ES102 CF FCD100 and first light with the field flattener/focal reducer. Also my first night of successful guiding. Unfortunately, I've purchased the wrong FF/FR so the field curvature actually increased with this set up... But lessons learned I guess. I achieved 6 minute subs but got talked into reducing to 4 minutes to have better lights. That definitely ended up saving me because a light wind picked up soon after I began imaging. Within an hour and a half, there were pretty consistent gusts ruining every shot and we all packed up for the night. Still pretty happy regardless of low frame count and poor field flatness.
