Description

This is my first image with my new W.O. Redcat and new ZWO ASI 6200 camera. I cature images using Sequence Generator Pro. On this first night, I couldn't get plate solving to work and my autoguider wouldn't focus.

I was very disappointed that the large field I was hoping for suffered from a large amount of vignetting due to the 2" filters. Therefore this image is heavily cropped. Without autoguiding I felt I had to limit my exposures to 2 minutes.

It was almost 100° here in New Mexico and there was a significant amount of haze.
