Description

I had some trouble with this one. I captured 11 images one night using my iOptron CEM40. The next night, the mount wouldn't connect to my ASIair. I eventually gave up and swapped in my iOptron CEM26EC and captured another 40 subs. I wanted more, but the swap caused me to lose so much time that 40 was all I could get. Frustrating, but I think the image came out OK despite the hassle.
