no flats yet (naughty!!!) - will integrate.

This was a quick and dirty process, so happy with the output.  I need to get the files into PI and give it a good session and learning curve for me, although in the middle of a move (should be sorted by the end of the weekend haha)

Optics: Altair 1x flattener with approx 57mm spacing, no filter

Camera: Altair 183c Pro Tec @ -10, gain 398, black point 30

Guide: Altair MG32 package

Captured in NINA (1.11 nightly)

Processed in APP and LR, will attempt PI once I find the time
