Description

A streak of clear nights agin with Moon illuminated over 50% at the beginning but waning.

So I setup all rigs but unfortunatelly I recognized when going or the first OSC shots in this project that once again a ASI2600 cam was having an issue with leaking oil on the sonsor glas.

I am really not keen to fix another one...had that issue before with my first mono cam which was exchanged finally after it leaked a second time and I want not to go through all this a for another time...

But there are still RGB filters installed in one of the two EFWs. Makes things a bit more complicated and time consuming but that was the workaround to get RGB stars for the whole field!

The cropped version was due to cropping out that oil stain artefact which forced me to give up a substantial part of the FOV.

After collecting RGB data seperately with the mono cam I was able to bring in RGB stars all over the initial field of view.

In the end integration time was in total way above 40 hours...a new high watermark for me :-)

Thanks for watching!
