Description

First target shot using CEM40 and ASI294mc-pro together, run by AST on a NUC.  Since it was a new APT instance, I ended up misconfiguring a couple sessions to shoot 2x2 binning, rather than my usual 1x1.  My calibration frames weren't great either, and the original stacks were coming out terrible.  By chance I accidentally loaded some 2x2 shots (different exposure rate) in with some of my other calibration frames, and immediately had the idea to just stack multiple days in DSS.   It took a couple tries, but I'm happy with the results of my first target with a real go-to mount.

Shot in my back yard in San Diego.
