Vega From Last Night

Managed to get 14 x 3-minute subs with the 200mm lenses on Vega last night after a LONG and weary battle setting up. Realised that the head amplifier has probably given up in M26(1) camera and that led to all the grief. Just as well I just bought 3 x ASI 2600MC Pro CMOS cameras from First Light Optics (with a good discount for 3-off, thank you very much FLO) as it looks like the M26Cs have had their day.

So the next long upgrade on the array will be to fit the 3 x 2600MC Pro cameras to the 3 x Sky90s, get the lot aligned and collimated, and then to fit the 3rd 200mm lens rig to the top plate to join the other 2 lenses. This is likely to take some time, but I will do it in bits, so that I always have a set of imagers ready to go.
