FocusMax worked.
PemPro worked.
Guido worked.
I shot M106 (through Pumpkin — tiny, tiny) until the mount hit the safety limit, 150m total or so.
Then, since it was still clear (although a bit late), I went hunting for another target, and landed on Sh2-115 in Cygnus (a target that should not be possible to shoot in early March). I hoped to shoot some color frames to back up the Ha I shot last spring. I misframed slightly, but we’ll see what comes out.
The camera is out shooting darks and biases, then I’ll have some new photos to process.
