- Fixing guide drift: a PHD2 log deep-dive Two weeks of RMS oscillation, one bad RA cable contact, and a lot of wasted subs.
- M31: two hours from Bortle 7 Andromeda with the L-eXtreme filter, stacked in Siril. What works, what I'd change.
- First light: Samyang 135mm on the ASI294MC Milky Way core with a fast telephoto. No coma wide open surprised me most.
About this site
I'm Mira, an amateur astrophotographer based in central Europe. I shoot from my suburban rooftop — Bortle 7 on a good night, effectively 8 when the neighbours leave their floodlights on. This site is where I keep observing logs and technical notes. It loads fast and has no JavaScript.
Current setup
Samyang 135mm f/2 · Sky-Watcher EQ5 Pro · ZWO ASI294MC Pro · Optolong L-eXtreme
