I had 4 hours of data on this object but only ended up using about 2.5 hours of it. Stars started getting mushy and the signal started falling off as it moved well into the western sky. Being in the Mid-West, there's a lot of dust in the air from harvest time.

Anyone have any tips for critical focusing using CCDSoft? Seams like I can get it pretty close but can't nail it.

Comments appreciated,
