Beehive Open Star Cluster (Messier 44)
Apr 8, 2024 11:08:21 #
After playing with Comet Pons-Brooks I shot three other stellar targets; however, due to problems getting a new guiding system to work I lost two sessions. Finally I just went back to my normal approach and shot the Beehive Star Cluster.
Used a Sony A7R V and Astro-Tech 65 EDQ on an Evolution mount. Shot 75x15sec subs @ ISO6400.
As per my normal, aligned and stacked in PixInsight, postprocessed in Lightroom/Photoshop.
Enjoy!

Beautiful!
So, I'm not the only one being baffled by my guiding issues?
NINA told me my DEC axis driver in ASCOM was bad. Popped a warning window in red, and everything.
Trouble is, nobody has ever heard of a DEC axis driver in ASCOM. Not even Bob Denny over at Cloudy Nights. (The resident ASCOM Guru from Mesa, AZ.)
So, for the last 2 nights I've been fooling with guiding issues and finding no cures.
Seems to be a mystery afoot.
Mines a bit like swatting flies with a baseball bat.
So far, no dead flies.
