So finally, all my gear arrived and we had a clear night last night. Set up in the backyard to do the initial testing of the equipment and see if I could capture anything. I did a fairly rough polar alignment, got close but not as close as I'd like.
Had a little bit of a rough time figuring out the app to control everything but once I started figuring it out it went very smooth.
Got everything working and sent the scope to Orion, turned on the tracking and started some captures. This shot is about 12 different exposures, some 30 seconds, some 60, some 300 and a couple 600 seconds. Only had time to shoot a few bias and dark frames, no flats yet.
I'm really pleased and looking forward to getting to know this rig.
