Description

I've been wanting to try some ultra-wide field imaging. So, I picked up a Star Adventurer and a Rokinon 135mm lens. This is my first attempt using this setup. I also wanted this to be a super light and portable rig, so I'm using an intervalometer instead of a PC. I don't know what to expect in terms of precision for both focus and polar alignment, but it seems like the best you can get with this rig is in the "pretty good" range.

240 Light frames, 25 seconds @ f/2.8

30 each: darks, flats, bias, dark flats

I've been using a tracing light panel to do my flats and that seems to work well.

I see that my town has recently been upgraded to a Bortle 8. I used a CLS-CCD filter and it seemed to do a good job at mitigating light pollution.
