Had to add the picture I took of the new improved setup with dual monitors and the remote focuser on the telescope with long enough cables to move the scope up to 20 feet away from the table so sometimes I can be in the shade doing solar.

Crummy conditions, but first time in awhile
About the time I got all setup and everything working together, the thin clouds rolled in. Took a capture in 4x4 binning mode s.o much lower resolution, but higher framerates to deal with the wind shaking the scope. I actually got some broadcast time in on NSN, including a live processing tutorial of the capture I got just before the broadcast when the sky was the clearest. I plan to do live processing at least every other weekend this summer so hopefully more people can learn just how simple it can be...... This isn't the greatest image I've done, it was a quick and dirty process job and hard to see what was going on with the sun glare even behind my shade box, but it's not as bad as I was expecting.

A little bit warmer
Finally, its starting to warm up a bit, got out to test some new equipment. New Asus laptop, remote focuser and some custom built longer cables so I don't have to be right beside the scope. Seeing wasn't that great, but shot enough frames at high framerate to stack out decent images. Hopefully try again tomorrow
