      Moving to a ZWO ASI533MCPro on my 11" RASA.  I plan to get a 2" filter drawer and use an L-Enhance Duo-Narrowband filter to image around the full moon. I'll be able to just pull the drawer/filter out for the 2 weeks around the new moon.  Right now I have the William Optics GTF81 piggy back on top of the RASA with a ZWO ASI1600  in a wide field narrowband setup.  I may switch the filter wheel to the 8 position wheel so that I can use that setup for RGB around the new moon.

      I polar aligned my CGEPro and had decent results.  (Clickable pics of the setup below)

      I decided to move back to my CGEPro from my 104 refractor.  I planted the pier as best I could and switched mounts with JRO2 moving my AVX back into the POD.

      Automation worked last night.  When it got very cloudy for more than 10 minutes, the sequence aborted, the scope parked, the roof closed and everything shut itself off after copying my data to another computer inside the house.   I'm looking forward to sleeping again!
