Had a devil of a time trying to get the Moon centered in the frame. I can usually do this quite easily by sighting down the tube. Not so this evening. I tried and tried, slewed all around the Moon, resorted to swapping SharpCap over to the guide cam (it was dead center there), back to the imaging cam, no freakin' Moon.
It is very warm and quite humid, and with the frustration of trying to center the Moon, I was working up a nice sweat.
As a last resort, I thought I might try removing the dust cap from the dew shield. Hey, whatta ya know. That worked like a charm!
Anyway, after that self-inflicted gunshot wound, I was only in the mood to run off one capture. I briefly considered doing a mosaic, but then a squadron of skeeters angled in for an attack and I skedaddled.
