Description

This one was another first for me. First time using a dedicated OSC for DSO work, first time using autofocus, first time with SGP, first time using the new Moonlite on my ES CF FCD100, first time using my GEM45, first time using PhD multi star (and first time successfully guiding with it), and first time using iPolar for alignment. Of course it didn't even think about going smoothly, so this is what I got after 2 nights. I learned a few things, like I need to figure out what is a good exposure that will not blow out the stars, but will still get all the good stuff. So, anyone got the correct settings for the Rising Cam RT2600A Color?
