New camera and computer
Last night was the first time using my new astrophotography setup with a dedicated astronomy camera ZWO ASI533MC-PRO and the small computer ASI AIRPlus that controls the whole setup. It was quick and easy to get polar aligned and focused using the app. Took me a little while to get auto-guiding to work because my guide-scope was not in focus and I was just chasing ghosts. Half the images were collected without auto guiding. As the first object with new setup, I chose North American nebula (NGC7000). It is one of my favorite objects. With the cropped sensor of this camera, it will take some time getting used to framing, especially for large objects like this one. About 2 hours of total exposure (3 min x 41 subs) worked quite well. Like how the Cygnus wall turned out in this one.
