Back on NGC 7380

Focus at 15,107

Having a nightmare trying to find the exact object centre, even after putting in the RA and Dec of the previous image it seems to land up off centre.

I then found I could open the previous image using Open under Image Link after taking an image and then right mouse click on the image and select closed loop slew.

Ok so the above is massively useful. However, without another piece of software I can’t do a meridian flip, so I have decided I need to try and get the ASIAIR working on top of the scope. I will now set out to get that done.

I left the scope running and went to bed around midnight. The last image was around 3am when it hit the meridian and stopped.

Flats – Yes

Darks – Yes
