Learned to guide with PHD2. Bright July sky, object altitude less than 10 degrees above the horizon (trees were in the way). Still, guiding with AO-8 is much easier. If only it were possible to use modern cameras with AO-8...
Imaging on 28-29.07.2025
Stacked 22 frames with different exposures (2 min, 6 min, 7 min) and different camera gains (8 and 125)
Total integration time - 1 hour.
