Description

First Light with my Epsilon 130D! After struggling two or three times with clouds and wrong backfocus distances I eventually had a clear night to capture my first image with the new scope. 

Not everything went as smooth as I wanted. It took me a pretty long time to reach focus - well, kind of... May be it was due to the strong wind at the beginning of my session but my auto focus parameters in NINA might also need some improvement. So I stopped auto focus and tried to use a Bahtinov mask which I also found quite difficult. I also detected some tilt, which I didn't manage to resolve as my tilt adapter got stuck that night... 

Anyway, at some point I stopped 'optimizing' and started my sequence to get at least 3 hours of data. Next time I hope to get the focussing/tilt right and with some more data, the noise level should drop as well...
