About this image
I am starting a new project on this diffuse nebula, with the intention of shooting around 15 hours of L-Enhance data and then adding 5 hours of L-Pro data.
this is a particular challenge on the outskirts of London and shooting north for me is right towards the centre of the city
this is my first 2.5 hours with the L-Enhance
And also I have finally got my guiding working within 0.20-0.25 total error - FINALLY!
