Description

The famous Cygnus Wall star-forming region in the North America Nebula, in the Hubble (SHO) palette. I spent an absurd two hours trying to get my equipment working before realizing that it was all due to an inadequate power supply for my Raspberry Pi. I mean, you don't expect a computer to work but not accept your password, right? Or plate-solve perfectly twice and petulantly refuse to do so again?

Once I switched to a battery, however, everything worked with eerie perfection. Guiding to 0.6" or better, autofocusing, the whole nine. I crawled into a sleeping bag in the Subaru and caught a few winks. Didn't get home to bed till 4.
