Description

First test with my new 174mm mini for guiding.

The guide cam works, but it took some time to get it working. It's definitely more (photon) sensitive than my other 120mm mini, but lacks the smaller pixels (which is not that big of a deal, but the bigger pixels don't help guiding accuracy either)

 I had to change the ASIair guiding aggressiveness by a lot; it took me 30-40 minutes to try to find the right values.

Another thing that helped was defocusing the OAG a bit.

There was a strange artifact though, in this data; there was a rainbow; the only thing I could do to get rid of it was use the "Photoshop Healing Stamp"? tool.


Hope you like my M63
