It was hot , it was humid , I was dripping and I had the opportunity to get some imaging time on m57 and Jupiter in 2 nights after 2 months of astro withdrawals and better data . My output paths are now in the in the correct manner and I had a good night collecting several thousands of frames in 4 hrs. I was capturing @ a rate of up to 237fps "what a night".

Iā€™m guessing with all that humidity, your seeing is very poor there. Getting 237fps is pretty amazing, now if you can just put a big AC unit up in the sky and remove some of that moisture. šŸ˜€

I am so glad you finally were able to play around with your setup.
It looks like you are getting dialed in more and more.
Keep at it when you can.

My modified Meade lxd55 mount is pretty good for doing Lunar/planetary imaging but, dso's is another story. It's all good though , I take my licks and keep going because astronomy is awesome. Thanks fellas ! Summer is mainly solar system imaging , the fast frame rate can catch a good frame more often unless a cold front settles in the it's game on from tree city. Our state has so many huge old Oak trees that when we get a lot of rain trees uproot and knock out the power which really s---- in the summer.
