Description

Whale and friend. About 110 each R,G,B 90s subs collected over 4 nights. Aboutb 90 of each used. ASI183 with gain 52 connected to MN190m on an Orion HDX-110 mount (Skywatcher EQ8 ).
The 4th evening was perfect, but fraught with equipment problems. A scout troop was coming in a few days to observe the sun as part of their Astronomy merit bade effort. A TS-80 with an ASI1600 is mounted on top of the MN190 with the guide scope on top of that. Earlier in the day I pulled the ASI camera off the TS-80 and put a Lunt Hershel prism on, which messed up the mount home and the guidescope. It took way too long to get back to imaging conditions.
