While it has been a while since I posted here, I have been imaging. However, there was a long cloudy stretch that knocked the productivity down. Here are some of the images I have captured.
Unfortunately, I discovered along the way that my mount was having trouble tracking properly at high declination (such as with IC 59 and 63 and the Soul Nebula, IC 1848).
After much testing, it turns out there is cross-talk between the declination and RA axis. In particular, guiding corrections in declination were causing spiking in the RA tracking.
The mount is currently back at SB getting a thorough going over so they can determine what is wrong. Fortunately the mount is under warranty. I had realized how dependent I have become on some of the really nice features of the MyT until I sent it back.
