This automation lark seems to work

Just running my first sequence with NINA. There is a lot of wispy cloud about, so I don't expect too much of the images, but it was a good opportunity to set up NINA and try things out.

Well! So far I have seen the magic of:

• slew from park to selected target
• platesolve and centre target
• autofocus
• take 8 light subs
• note that scope has passed the meridian, flip, recentre target and continue with sequence.

All without touching scope or computer.

It was easy to set NINA up once I had figured out how to configure platesolving. Everything else was simple. I liked the look of NINA, and since it is free, I figured I had nothing to lose with an experiment.

I am impressed!
