Description

This turned out to be quite troublesome finishing this target. For some reason, the guide cam disconnected after a few subs for the past several imaging sessions (luckily it was partially clear nights) and I went down the rabbit hole of troubleshooting on what was causing it. Plus the corrector was fogging up within a couple hours. 

I switched over to the Dew-not controller and that kept the dew in control. For the guide cam disconnect, found out last night PHD2 and SGP need to be set to 'Run as administrator'. After several days, got a full night of data on the Edge. Interestingly, the Eagle on my widefield setup did not require any of this and it works just fine. 

Hope you like this result! Clear skies!
