Description

Basic star field image near Vega from last night.  This was a test using the ASIAIR Plus and an older Nikon 35mm F/1.8 lens mounted in a clamp accessory.  Small thread was used to open lens aperture to max.  Was taken about 4AM at home using an iOptron SkyGuider Pro mount.  Taken as a series of 12 stacked images with a gain of 100 and exposure about 3 seconds each.  Stacking done internally via ASIAIR Plus.  This was my first real use of the ASIAIR for DSO images.
