Description
I started this on 12/08/24. I made about every error a person could make getting the 90 subs I ended up using.
At the start I knew it would be difficult as this Dolphin is swimming for a few hours a night above 30 degrees in the south which is
where all the light pollution is at its worse for me. I ended up scrapping over 100 subs and on the clearest night I forgot to lock down
the rotator on the hyperstar after collimating. On the second clearest night
I forgot to remove my QHY Polemaster and the cable put tension on the mount. No damage but nice happy little star trails in many subs.
A comedy of errors. I did the best I could with what I could get.
