Appreciation Post

Dadek182

I just wanted to express my gratitude and appreciation for the ZWO team who created this marvelous thing called ASIAIR Pro.
After struggling with so many different tools for different purposes I have managed to set up, configure and start shooting photos in less than 40 minutes (first time ever setting up my astrophotography gear).

I was so amazed with how simple it was to check my guide/main cam focuses and set up guiding.
In all that excitement I forgot to use my Bahtinov mask and properly focus so my first ever astrophoto: https://files.catbox.moe/ws7ixe.TIF is not the best 🙂

Also a big thank you to @w7ay for helping me and providing super detailed answers!

Cheers!

Dadek182 so my first ever astrophoto

Not shabby at all for a first shot.

Looks like at least the optics looks flat. Can't tell with 100% without everything being in focus, but it looks very promising. Just a tad of tracking error.

With more subframes, and the dimmer parts of M31 should pop right out of the noise. I can already see the dust lanes in M31 -- nice.

Have fun!
