NGC7331, 4 hrs, StellaVita
Photo description / processing
Category: "low-achievement sports".
First attempt with OAG instead of an external guide scope. The concept works, but the guide stars turned into "birds" (crosses). It doesn't interfere with guiding, but it's not right. It's impossible to see the Bahtinov mask spikes.
This time I encountered another StellaVita bug that can't be worked around:
It drops off the home Wi-Fi (bridge mode) - ping starts rising from the usual 5ms to 1000ms and then times out, and the SMB share becomes unavailable too. It keeps working and capturing, but you can't reach it over the local network anymore. And you can't download files either. You have to walk over to it and persuade it to rejoin the network (usually nothing helps).
A DIY project for enthusiasts who are ready and love to suffer (we're all like that here, but not to this extent, right?!)
