I Was Actually Well Enough to Do Astrophotography a Few Nights Ago

Of course, once I was outside, I realized the two AAA batteries that power the clock drive were dead.  (The power switch is in a position that makes it easy to forget to turn it off.)  Nonetheless, short exposures (1/80th sec. ISO 800) still produce okay images.

Video is required to produce higher quality images and you can see the tracking issue and general atmospheric instability:

Adding to the fun is that my fast laptop (128GB RAM) cannot read the camera's SDXC memory cards through a USB adapter,  The travel laptop pretty obviously does.
