Description

MY goodness.......This is the first image with a new to me EdgeHD 9.25. This image represents getting a new focuser for the OTA and autofocus routine working, learning and using the new advanced sequencer in NINA, getting PHD2 "dialed in" to guide at 2,350mm of focal length, binning my imaging camera for the first time and lots of other "first time" learning experiences associated with capturing data with a long focal length reflector.

My first big mistake was NOT binning my flats. The next morning when I wanted to use flats to calibrate my lights I got hit with an incompatible image geometry warning in Pixinsight. Sigh..... I had flats, but they were not binned and I could not use them. Did I write down my focuser position? Of course not! This image has no flat correction.
