5/26/2023 12:11AM, SE Portland (near a street light), SharpCap Pro, ZWO ASI183MC Pro, Celestron 8SE, 20 second exposures, 350 gain, 188 frames, cropped from GIMP stretched FITS file to png.

PHD2 was having trouble with calibration due to hot pixels. Once I ran the new dark library wizard in PHD2, calibration completed but wasn't great. I've got some serious amp glow from my main camera that lights/darks didn't really remove. Going to have to figure that one out. Had to do 2 polar alignments so I need to get better at that. Was stacking by 11:10pm. Apparently one satellite went though the FOV a little later than expected but stacking seemed to remove the line from the final image. Having trouble stretching this in GIMP and I think it was due to the street light and the Moon. Threw my gear together sort of last minute so it was fun to see the whole setup/takedown worked for me. 1 hour of stacking, couple hours setup/takedown. (Would like to get a backyard observatory at some point).
