FINALLY got an automated CCDAutopilot run to work last night. Windows 7 64-bit makes things more challenging. Here is about 50 minutes of luminance stacked and levels only.

BTW I still can't get CCDAP to plate solve with the Sky X. No idea why at this point, so I used Pinpoint. Plate solve works fine in the Sky X, but I can't seem to get CCDAP to work with it. Anybody else have a problem?

Hi Russ,
Cool...Great start! Congratulations...

I use CCD Commander, Sky6, WinXP, Pinpoint, and a bunch of home hacked C++code, for remote imaging so no help here. Only minor help is there might be a slight polar alignment or tilt issue remaining as stars in the upper left appear slightly elongated.
Best regards,
Dave
