Description

With my Christmas money (and a 12-months-no-interest credit card, lol) I have acquired a new camera, filters, and a filter wheel! It's a big step up from my old D7000.

I'm still getting acquainted with all the new gear, as well as SGP. This is by no means a finished project, but I wanted to take something from beginning to end, just to familiarize myself with the workflow. There is still much to be learned.

What I've learned already, is that I will need to be doing longer exposures, especially for narrowband. I'm already asking too much of the AVX - 3 minutes is pushing it with such a load. But, I think I need to be doing 5-minute subs to properly expose things. I'm hoping to get there with some further mount tuning. I really can't afford a new mount right now.
