Running Chicken IC2944
What started out as a question became a small marathon. I was getting shadow /reflections of the filters in the shot. So it became full clean down mirrors and filters. once put together I did a NB night and a RGB night to see if all had gone, happy to say its all clear.
What better way to really see so I did 5 nights of NB in total about 130 shots per filter. This is a Hubble SHaO pallet. One thing that showed up in those 5 night 2 am in the morning mount would disconnect. It would restart straight away once I got the port recognized. Turns out the fitting for the EQMOD cable for the mount was not firm even if the screws where. Two small slithers of a wall plug on the screws the whole thing is a tight as a drum and ran all night.
Now who cant see the chicken running Bottom left cant miss it. Still cant get over the detail in the shot.
