Description

1-8-23.  Flaming Star Nebula IC 405.  Esprit 80 with L-Extreme filter and 6200MC camera.  99% illuminated moon.  1 hr 30 minutes.  Plagued with mount connection issues due to a mount to laptop cable being frayed at the mount connection end.  Took some time to figure out what was causing the connectivity issue.  Then the camera stopped working only to find out that the cause was APT needing to be re-booted because of the mount connectivity issue.  But with pain and experience you gradually learn to solve these issues on the fly and salvage the imaging run.  Then next morning Siril wouldn't stack the images which looked fine to me.  I have no idea why, but I ended up stacking them in Astropixel Processor (APP) which was fine but took a little longer than Siril would have (had it been willing to stack them... it is my most used program for stacking and processing).
