Description

Last night I was finally able to get under the stars for the first time in ages. It was a night of “First Light” for some new gear. I was able to give the mighty (and stupid heavy) EQ8R-Pro, the new ASIAIR Plus and Chroma 3nm (Ha/OIII) filters a go. I didn’t shoot any SII because I don’t have that filter yet.Concerning the ASIAIR Plus…it did OK I guess. I did have issues after dithering. The guiding would go all wonky. I have different setting that I’m going to try next time. The Wi-Fi worked well enough for me, it only dropped off for a couple of seconds. I guess the signal doesn’t like the wall in my kitchen.Overall, I am pleased with the final product given the minuscule amount of data that I was able to collect.
