Again a windy night, I’ve used the Powermate 5X to reach almost 9mt of focal length.
Apparently a good night, maybe with too much wind from south.
The session started with some tests on the airy disk. The purpose of this first set of videos was to identify possible problems with the optical set, I’ve always noticed that the B channel is much worse than the R or IR one.


And finally the wide-field version, double exposure, June for the planets and one for the moons.
