The Gamma Cygni Druid

[Rodd]

Another happy accident from a frustrating issue.  Poer issues remain regarding my mount.  Periodic stops due to electrical issues continue to plaugue me.  This time I tightened up the connection and truned the mount off and on, and it seemed to work.  There is an indication that it happens at higher declination.  As before my target was out of position and I had to reorient the mount after the failyre.  I chose Gamma Cas  as it was in a good position for looking down the tube in efforts to get it in the FOV.  Once I did, I decided to image the druid.  The Super Moon was full and seeing was terrible.  I aklmost packed it in.  But I had to make sure the mount was working, so I recalibrated the guider and collected 24 subs.  Only 11 ended up iseable as poor seeing cuased terrible guiding.  I deleated everything in frustration and am glad I came to my senses and retreived the files.  With only 11 subs (55 minutres), I think it would be worth completing this one as an HaRGB image.  My goal is to collect several more hours of Ha then RGB when the Moon receedes.

Fooling around on my phone.  Not a bad suite of processing tools for basic tweaks.  Not much left in this one, I’m afraid without much more data
