You can see that 1) there is quite a lot of noise 2) the tracking isn't perfect, the stars are a little elongated even after only 2 minutes and 3) the seeing wasn't great, so everything is a little blurry.


Last night I took an autoguided 12 minute exposure which came out a little better. I also tried a 40 minute autoguided exposure, but I accidentally unplugged my computer at the start of the exposure and the thing died in the middle. Very frustrating. I'll probably try again tomorrow.









Hi Jon,





Thanks. Awaiting for auto-guided version.


As far as the noise concerned, I will be not surprised to hear in 5-10 years this is not just a noise, but relict radiation or something like that.
