1/2 of Andromeda galaxy and dwarf m110 my best 60s mono guided sub from 5hrs last night and I'm wishing the hurricane would blow on out to sea and leave me be. High clouds were killing me and I even got an "ATTA BOY" from some of my AP buddies. I'm so excited that my handicapped --- is starting to figure it out , it's such a joy to have data that gives my eyes a glimmer of achievement . It's not pretty , it's progress !

Nice work Stepping. M110 is always a fine bonus.

Great Donnie!
Chalk up some more Atta-Boyz.

From out here, they show your Hurricane heading Eastward when it gets around Charlottesville. But our weather reports are totally inaccurate for local, let alone distant, weather systems. But as big as those muthers are, I'd suspect the skies will be a mess.
Batten down the hatches, and secure the mount. Get ready for a big blow party.

You are really making progress.
This is a very nicely captured and processed shot.
Add another Atta Boy from me as well.
Woohoooo!

Really nice with a large amount of data within the dust lanes. IMHO what really matters is that you enjoy yourself while pursuing this hobby, especially considering how frustrating it can be at times,

Well done, keep looking up,
Matthew

Thank yall , It's feast or famine for me. I finally got some thumbscrews for my polar scope and just replace them all instead of the allen that was just spinning, guiding awesomely until high level clouds forced phd to relocate the star a zillion times . This was just the best of 4 subs on m31 and I've also got 8 600s subs on ngc7830 {Wizard}. I had 5 trains go by while running on ngc7830 , I had to brush the dust off my Anti- vibration pads. My guiding has been over 10 min. and gathering the data is my goal and then one of my buddies is going to teamviewer with me and I can watch some of his workflow and take notes. My deep space workflow needs help and he's going to put it thru PS and bring out more of the hidden details. It's a work in progress
