Last night I spent several hours tinkering with my new OAG and Lodestar guide
cam. It's a whole different ball game and very difficult to set up. Maxim could
not find decent guide stars and kept going to pixels instead. A friend of mine
suggested doing dark calibration on the guider image. I did that and it seemed
to work ok. So by 11 PM I noticed M13 was high enough to image and I put an
hour and 15 minutes of RGB, all unbinned on it. I did all 300 second exposures.
All the subs looked perfect and so far I think this is probably my nicest image
with the Edge 8, which has been very frustrating to use ever since I got it.
This image was fully calibrated and post processed in PixInsight with some
Photoshop. Despite the moon, background gradients were pretty minimal. Here's
