The Clear Sky Evening
The great Hercules Cluster
Astrophoto M13 Great Hercules Cluster Clear Sky 17.
An evening full of distance tests for my new flattener TSFlat2. I was not very successfull. Some of the testimages were used to stack this image of M13.
But there was one milestone i reached.
Lessons Learned
1st thing learned: Configuring flattener distance is pain in the a**! I did not finish that this evening!
2nd thing learned: Successfully used platesolving with my equipment and EKOS. This saves me so much time and so many NERVES!
