I've done lots of bitching and yaking over the past month but we're finally becoming friends. Last night I was setup in 5 minutes. Polar alighned in two minutes. Called up the software and was going to do my normal "find something to sync my goto astro program (Cartes). Instead... I loaded a sequence I had setup days before in the house. I wondered??? so I clicked run.

HOLY CHIT - it took a pic did some plate solve stuff and did it again and maybe a 3rd time and then was taking 5 minute subs. I thought "could this be possible?" First sub appeared and my target (M101) was smack dab in the center.

Gone are the days of setting my hand conroller (I removed it for a BT dongle) and gone are the days of trying to run a goto program to try and sync my location. I'm amazed-

I was setup and shooting subs in under 8 minutes. I had about a good 60 of fun... then things went in the crapper... PHD2 started beeping at me, not sure why. Star Mass? star lost... SGP seemed like it froze, it was doing that "ONE SHOT" stuck in a loop thing again. I rebooted everything and nothing really worked smoothly the rest of the night. Mainly... my new ASI071MC C has some issues and if I try to cool it down under -10 I get a strange pattern on the sensor (a grid). I was able to have it fade, but what good is no cooling?

I got around 8 decent subs... but when I try to stack them I get weird horizontal line over them. SO MUCH TO LEARN I HAVE...

But SO SEXY is SGP and plate solve2

So stacked? HUH?

Single frame.
