Description

This project began with great expectations, but about 3/4ths down the road (roughly the rightmost 3/4ths of the mosaic actually) the ancient Dell I was using stopped recognizing the AC/DC adapter and then things went downhill. I was able to start capturing again and complete the mosaic with a raspberry pi and StellarMate as a remote INDI server controller from KSTars running on a new laptop with Windows 11 (that was until I found out how to reinstall all the stuff on Windows 11, especially EQMOD gave me serious trouble), but the weather and seeing were truly horrible so the left side of the mosaic ended up with visibly worse SNR.
