Telescope: Celestron C11 @ f/25, Orion Atlas EQ-G

Camera: ZWO ASI462MC, 2.5x Powermate

Filter: Meade IR cut filter

Seeing: poor, 2/5

Exposure 5x(3min x 15ms), gain 275, saved as SER

White Balance: Nebulosity Automatic

Software: SharpCap Pro, AutoStakkert, Registax, WinJUPOS, Nebulosity, Photoshop

On this sequence I snuck the gain up a tad and the exposure down a tad and my system ran fairly smoothly with only few dropped frames. The sky conditions were very poor with the seeing a solid 2/5 with bright moonlit haze, but there was a fairly even stretch of thin haze between clouds large enough to squeeze in this sequence. Overall not a bad result.
