Description

For my second ever imaging session I decided to go to our club's dark site (Bortle 4) to image the Leo Triplet. The night was rife with problems including: Power issues for mount and camera, terrible guiding due to poor polar alignment, Camera shutting down unexpectedly, intervelometer not triggering, etc etc. Thus, I only was able to capture 5 subs of 120s. Wow; so bad.

In addition, I spent so much time trying to fix things that I ran out of time to capture flats, darks, and bias calibration frames so I just used the calibration frames from my last imaging session.
