Description

Just a star as everywhere else! Top left of the frames

A clearing in the clouds last night finally allowed to image the telescope. 
the difficult part was not to image, but eventually to  find it back in the images.

SkySafari showed it in the wrong place, so you could easily think it was too dim and not visible. Then a different set of coordinates I picked up somewhere, also missed the object by dozens of arcminutes. Finally the most recent coordinates from JPL Horizons pointed me to the right part of the image, where I noticed a star which was not in the skysafari map. 
I estimate the brightness of 13,5 magnitude (comparing to adjacent stars). It also got brighter during the sequence maybe a result of rotation?

apologies for the flickering background stars, I did not succeed in stabilising that tips welcome!

Version B is a strong 100%  crop from the large field the ASI2600 produces, unprocessed straight out of AstroPixelprocessor from 7 images of each 120s
