Description

This was my first attempt imaging with my C11 at extreme altitude and angle almost 90 degrees straight up. Lets just say tilt your head back as far as you can and you get the idea.

I used the DSS program for the very first time and took 36 light frames at 5 seconds each and then 10 dark frames of same exposure with same shutter setting with cap closed on scope, an 9 bias frames at 1/4000th of a second with telescope cap closed as well. I still notice field rotation for my total stacked of about 3 minutes unguided ,but maybe this is to be expected without doing any autoguiding.
