    I took this image last night. Seeing was decidedly mediocre, but at least it was clear for once... for a while. I set it running and the Boltwood Cloud Sensor told MaxIm DL to shut everything down a few hours later.

    Total of 206 minutes exposure in red, green, and blue.

    Nice work Doug !
    That's also pretty cool that you put the new Auto Shutdown enhancements to work with MaxIm DL 6.27 -totally worthwhile upgrade!

    A lot of stars for sure with the STC and TMB turning in a good result.

    My processing failed as I blew out the core. Missing the old days of Tech Pan in D19.
