Description

Ticking off my Messier Objects this year

The AM5 is so easy to put out that I've been using it even when there is wind or high cloud forecast, just to get maybe an hour or two of data. I end up rejecting a lot of subs using PI's SubframeSelector, but in the end was pleased to get almost 1000 subs

PI crashed my computer multiple times in the stacking process - once during Debayering, and once during Registration. I had to spilt the files up into 3 batches of 333 subs each to get through the stacking process. Anyone have any idea why this is happening?
