Description

NGC 6946 
August 15, 2023 9:30pm - 10:30pm CST
One hour total, 12x300"
Using the new Astro-Physics adapter (ADA27-48ST) which I like better than the other adapter I had made.

This is how I do my quick sessions:
Setup, balance, polar align with NINA TPPA.
Perform a quick plate solve, slew to my image, focus, and begin 300" exposures. 
The Mach2 has been very forgiving in this regard.
That said, if I have the time I usually perform an APCC mapping routine of at least 32 points.
