Trying to get the rust out

 Working with Sharpcap 4 instead of SGP...  it's been so long that I wondered if Sharpcap 4 with its imaging sequencer would be easier...

 

 

Yeah, there's a power distribution thing (powerwerx?) and a moonlite focuser controller hidden by cables.

Success with autofocus!  The night was decent/good but I had framing issues and color balance problems.  I took 2 hours of data on the Eastern Veil but... it might have to be thrown out.  I'm going to set the R/B color balance to 50/50.  Then I'll try to platesolve.

I had this "problem" where Sharpcap's autosequencer thingy wanted to wait like 15-17 minutes before starting each time while connecting to the autoguiding software, PHD2.  So, I just bypassed that part of the sequence and let it start immediately.   I went about 10 frames, then moved the target (sometimes by way too much) to accomplish something like dithering...

Having been out of it for some time, I was literally getting a headache trying to get everything working.
