Description

I wasn't happy with how the T7i was handling noise in the summer months, so I switched to a dedicated cooled astrocamera, the ZWO ASI2600MC pro.  Noise levels are now amazingly low, and the camera was very easy to transition to from my T7i.

I just happened to get about 1.5 hours exposure on M31 as I was ironing out the kinks in my setup, and I'm finally happy with an Andromeda photograph even though the exposure time is quite low.  Flats are now also much easier after getting a tracing LED light box (only $20 on amazon).  I felt like I could never get a good sky flat before!
