-12°C. The first LRGB with the new filterwheel.
The seamless interation of hard- and software was a pleasant surprise compared to the previous setup.
In my eyes there is no obvious gain in binning the exposures of the colour-frames. I have the impression that the overall resolution deteriorates. I am pretty sure this will remain the only LRGB with this method.
I had a hard time to find a suitable star to guide on, so the „fish“ was not placed on the sweet spot of the optics and the camera.
