But I guess I have to know the observatory data, especially the rotation angle of camera (not obvious when using commercial remote telescopes). Worth a try. After a succe...

Abell 1413 from Jan 26; another night of good seeing! Less than 1.7arc secs all night. I really need more subs for this cluster and I should have imaged it with my 10in F8 SCT for the increased focal length. The image is centred on the supermassive elliptical galaxy Abell 1413 BCG (PGC 37477) which ...

(I just installed a new pc;-) If I connect to Ascom I can take 1 image and then the Camera plugin crashes and I can't take a second image! I have a feeling that the problem is connected to the usb drivers...
