Last night I set up the RASA11 with NINA (Nightly build 181) to image part of the North American Nebula (Cygnus Wall) and also the Dark Cloud Nebula LDN 935.
Managed to acquire 43 x 5 minute exposures before the software crashed. The build of the software is a pre-release, and subject to failures. There is new pre-release updates out almost everyday.
