Description

First image obtained with N.I.N.A. and ZWO EAF.  Basically just a quick test, 1 hour all in all with the RGB filters. I still have to remove tilt from my camera, Hocus Focus plug-in will be used once I get the Photon Cage Tilt device. I've been trying to tame my old EQ-6 for ages, but to no avail. I used PHD2 guide assistant recommended settings and when the EQ-6 wasn't throwing one of it's tantrums, guiding was perfect. But little does that help when every minute or so I'm getting spikes anywhere from 2" to 4". At 700mm FL my 30 x 120" exposures were almost all with elongated stars.
