Though a bright moon made conditions less than ideal I was keen to try the new mods to the system. I chose NGC 2403 which is a fairly bright galaxy in Camelopardalis. It was a bit frustrating to see the guiding working so well but once in a while making a huge deviation in declination for no apparent reason. This ruined several sub exposures until I found some settings that seemed to cure the problem just as cloud arrived to end the session. One to try again on a better evening. Detail: 10" f.4.3 Newt. 8X 7 minute exposures @ iso800 with CLS in DSS, CS2, Photobrush & XAT.2.3.10
