About this image

I still haven't quite got to grips with using the ASIAIR to run imaging on my second pier while I concentrate on the planets and smaller objects in my observatory. This time I had a number of false starts and then had to stop it slewing to the target by thumping my scope into the pier but after those hiccoughs it then did an nice job on Andomeda even though I didn't get the orientation as ideally as I'd have liked.
