The robotic telescope's output from night two: the Lagoon & Triffid nebulae, the Swan & Eagle nebulae, and the Moon.
I did get an image of Sharpless 1 as well, but it's clear that would need a lot more time than the couple of hours I gave it to get a good image.

And now I've tried solar observing mode with the included solar filter. The tiny scope isn't the ideal instrument for this kind of thing, but it does OK. Sunspots are clearly visible, and you can distinguish the umbra and penumbra of the larger ones.

OK, there we go, the result of pointing the little robotic telescope at the Prawn Nebula for four hours.
It's kept all the data so I can try reprocessing this in Siril, but the automatic image processing has done a decent job.

The Moon is now up so I got out my tripod & wedge, switched to equatorial mode, and picked an emission nebula as my next target so I could use the internal light pollution filter. I think I'll leave this running for a couple of hours and see what I get.

A couple of quick galaxy snaps with the in-telescope automatic image processing. Not a bad start.

We are installed in Kurrajong for the long weekend, just outside the worst of Sydney's light pollution, which means I get to open my birthday present a little early.
I plonked the little astromech on the balcony table, spent literally a couple of minutes setting it up,, and told it to start imaging the Southern Pinwheel Galaxy. For now I've just left all the settings in their default fully automatic modes and it was even easier than I expected to get it working.
I'll let it run for a bit, and then start tinkering.
