Clear nights like London buses... and praise to NINA

[Fegato]

Having moaned about the weather for over 2 months, I've been faced with 3 maybe 4 clear nights on the trot this week!  The scope was wheeled out on Tuesday, and it's stayed out there night and day since. I'll bring it in before bed tonight, as cloud is forecast before morning with a slight risk of drizzle.

Although there's a lot of moon, beggars can't be choosers, so I've been shooting shortish exposures (60s with the RASA) with the NBZ dual narrowband filter. I'm not expecting great things, but am now overwhelmed with over 1500 subs on 7 targets, so processing is going to take some time...   can't moan about that though, can I?

I've been using the NINA advanced sequencer for the first time, and it's been brilliant. I've left it to its own devices, and it has worked flawlessly - slewing from target to target on a "loop until time" basis, autofocusing each time, re-focusing when HFR grows by 5%, managing the guiding and dithering, and parking the scope up at 6.30 in the morning (the picture is around 8 in the morning on Wed).
