Did some EAA again tonight starting around 9:45pm and going for about 2 hours. Today was the full moon, however the moon rise was at 9:24pm and it was hidden by hills and my neighbor's house the all time.
I wanted to use the just discovered "custom" option in the "exposure time" drop down in ASILive. I took darks at 3s exposure and did 60x3s stacks for all my targets.
I was toying with the motor speed often and also had to move the FWHM filter up and down repeatedly. I also had to manually revert frames here and here but with the 3s tempo, it was a bit more relaxed.
Over all I think the results are pretty good given it's a full moon night.
