Live action - Trick to avoid elongated stars doing EAA / Astrophotography with a dobsonian telescope

[Tiago Ferreira]

Live EAA observing session where i show a good and simple trick using Sharpcap FWHM to override the star trails / elongated stars in the image. This is with my 12" f/5 dobsonian telescope on an equatorial platform but can be used with other set up.

Yes, very useful. I do something similar in Jocular but manually. Mike
