Lazy astronomy goals achieved. Motorized flat panel / cover and Camera rotation. Keeps me inside and warm in the Winter. (BlueSky is limited to one video per post, unlike X)

First light with RedCat 91. Doubles my focal length. And yes, I have aperture fever. This is a tighter framing of just Jelly Fish Nebula in SHO. 5 hours of integration. Pardon the poor cable management in rig image below (it's all cleaned up now)

Spaghetti Nebula in SHO. Very dim object; required 4 nights of imaging. Could use more data but moving on...

Flaming Star and Tadpole Nebulas. Not too bad for just 6 hours of subs under full moon.

This is Andromeda with Ha contribution, which you can see in the spiral arms as red. BTW, this galaxy is going to collide with our Milky Way! Take cover in just 4.5B years.
