Description

First light with 2600MM Pro. When everything was set up, fog rolled in but the Pleiades were still visible. I started a sequence of 10 x 180 sec L regardless and approximately at frame 4 fog miraculously disappeared! I'd like to have gotten more exposure time but the fog returned, luckily after I managed to get my RGB and 10 more L frames. I have some DEC backlash in my old EQ-6 but for the first run, it's not that bad. And with AsiAir Pro everything just works!
