NGC2903, AZGTi, ZWO178MC

I decided to try my AZGTi in EQ mode for the first time last night. Using the 72mm scope and 178MC.

I used the Sharpcap polar align feature in sharpap. The only issue was the adjustments using the star adventurer wedge. But, I got it into the "GOOD" zone so decided that was close enough.

Then used the livestack feature to grab 30mins of 20s images.

I really only wanted to try the EQ mode and it seems to have worked I guess. I only did a one star alignment in the Synscan app also. 

Then processed in Startools.

The full moon won't have helped things but I am glad that I got something and had a practice of the EQ mode. 🙂

That’s excellent. Thanks for sharing. 

That's very kind of you to say. Cheers. 

I am hoping to get to a point where 1 min exposures with the AZGTi, unguided could be done regularly

Then considering an ASI air Pro. 

Still trying to work out an optimal gain figure for the camera v exposure. 

And I haven't got a clue how to do flats with this camera either. Lol.
