I must love the misery of the cold , I thought I would be in the warm most of the night . There was a hitch that I just couldn't figure out. here's my screen shots of my progress but, for some strange reason I was unable to run a sequence . I chalk it up to learning experience and I shake like a leaf if not using my tripod.

Sorry Ronnie, But I don't know what I'm looking for there.
Ed might, but not me.
Warmer nights are coming. (Give or take 4 months...
)
Just keep swimming...
This was my plate solve and frame & align that I did per instructions, that Ed sent to me in a email that he performed the night before remote to my capture computer. I spent 2 to 3 hrs out in the frigid each night watching and learning then I was on my own on night 2 and I almost ran a sequence with it guiding. This is starting to stick , maybe another night and I'll be taking down m82 in RGB. WOOHOO ! I've got my fingers crossed , this is astrophotography anything can and will go wrong. I've got the bad shakes on my right side. That's why it looks like crud, could you imagine if I touched the mount after aligning? HAVOC !

"WOOHOO ! I've got my fingers crossed , this is astrophotography anything can and will go wrong."That... is an understatement. Even if everything on the ground is tip-top, there is our atmospheric soup to peer through.
