so tonight was pretty much the first cloudness night since i got my new mount
i actually ended up DIYing an autoguider using a crappy microsoft webcam and some pro codeing and soldering skills
unfortunately i done fucked up and had my telescope pointing at the wrong place for over an hour
i did wonder why m31 looked so dim on 15 minute exposures, turns out it was actually ngc185 the whole time
tomorrow is also cloudless so hopefully i'll be able to fix my autoguider (it won't do ra-) and actually point it at a decent target
on the upside i was actually able to pick up the core of ngc185 with the webcam in my autoguider (much sensitivity, wow! :doge:)
