It's all set, expect to do polar alignment around 15 minutes later.
The new power cable should work now. I shall try to turn on cooling.
All set.
Target for the 85mm refractor:
1. Eastern Veil Nebula NGC6992 for around an hour for testing the setup
- there seem to be some focuser drift, autofocus point 9247, let's refocus after some time to see if it helps after tightening
17 frames were acquired, let's see how many of them will be useable at the end.
2. M81 + M82 + NGC 3077 for as long as possible, maybe extend for a few nights?
- Refocusing before shooting, autofocus point 9183.It might not be very colourful, but I love their shapes and configurations. Just a bit higher than my roof, so catch the chance to capture them!
Targets for the S30, some more random explorations:
1. IC 1795 Fish Head Nebula (I set 20s last night and so it's using 20s exposure) for two hours
2. IC1848 Soul Nebula for twenty minutes only since it entered the light of my neighbour
It's better than expected, it confirmed that my last shot with the 85mm refractor was the Soul Nebula.
3. SH2-157 Lobster Claw Nebula, again with a few shots so I overprocessed it to bright something more
4. M1 for a few more shots, and I am going to get more frames before processing.
