Finally, Good Weather and No Moon!

Fall is finally here and for the most part, the skies have cleared.  I've had a few good imaging runs recently, capturing a few new deep sky objects over the course of several imaging sessions.  Every session isn't always successful, but I learn a lot and research my problems which improves future results.  I feel like I'm doing better and better capturing images, but determining exposure lengths and managing guiding with an off-axis guider is still somewhat challenging.  I finally feel like I have focusing mastered at least.

 I also really need to invest more time learning better post-processing.  I know enough to get some decent results, but there is a lot more I could be doing that would probably result in better overall images in the end.  I would like to learn how to use PixInsight, but it's so daunting every time I look at it.  

I'll keep at it. Until next time, clear skies!
