Description

Markarian's Chain centered on NGC 4438. Shot over the course of the West Texas Star Party 2021 at Prude Ranch near Fort Davis, Tx.

This was the first time I used the SkyTools 4 Imaging to come up with my plan instead of me just guessing on everything. It came up with some interesting numbers and I am pretty pleased with its recommendations.

I was only dithering in RA (left over setting from my CGEM) and as a result, the dither had not settled in time resulting in many subs having to be discarded.

This and the M13 were the first time using the new mount.
