Imaging details:
first light new camera and eADC

the ZWO ASI664MC

an upgrade from the 290MC
the frame rate was 50% higher for this image

sensitivity theoretically higher as well.  

the sunobserver eADC from astro hutech is an electronic atmospheric dispersion corrector

that uses an accelerometer to adjust the correction angle as the scope rotates across the sky

eliminating the need to correct the ADC throughout the night

very nice for a long session, though i have to say the numbers on the read out are comically small. 

i had to magnify it with my cell phone

while i have no problem with this small type.
