Description

Unguided captures with lots of lights on as I demonstrated the telescope to friends we hosted for New Year's Eve.  This our first clear skies in over a month, only a few hours, and I was balancing between entertaining guests and trying to capture some data.  It's been so long since I've used PixInsight I almost forgot how.  Hoping 2022 will bring more clear skies.

Drizzling in PixInsight helped a lot, as I'm borderline under-sampled with this camera/telescope combo.

This was also my first use of the OctoPi Camera adapter for the RASA 8 to remove tilt and flatten the off-axis aberration.  Still a bit more tweaking to do but so far happy with the results.
