Sept 29th Frog Hopping... 5 quick targets
Sep 30, 2017 11:59:44 #
So rather than wonder where the mount was going, I decided to do one of my (all too) familiar Factory Reset's of the mount. I'm getting to like that feature to get rid of the hash from previous nights. I might even make it a routine once a week or something. Everything seems to run great right after... 
So the Alignment went easier, because the alignment stars landed mostly in view. I was shaking my head because I began with 2-3 stars aligned in the guide scope, then realized my mistake and finished up with the main imaging camera as my centering view. But in spite of changing paddles mid stream, it didn't tip over the boat.
And interestingly enough, none of the chosen objects needed re-centering. So pretty much Bulls-Eye slewing. Happy to see that.
I found myself seeking the obscure, the tiny, the things I'd never visited before. It became a game.
I had updated the Infinity camera software trying to find the color I feel has been lost somewhere. So after a run at the (origional) Bubble Nebula, I went after Clusters and Galaxies.
And yada, yada, yada...
Last nights spoils.
As shot, with mild noise abatement. Minimal post processing.
