I'm going to try my best to get some live broadcasting done right around sundown.
The equipment will be my AT8IN (that is finally collimated!), iPhone 5s, snapzoom holder, 8-24mm Celestron zoom, 2x barlow, all on a CGEM. I will do my best to polar align and level the scope, and if I can I will try using the ASPA routine pending updating the starsense firmware. I will also be testing using a filter with the iPhone as well to see if it improves contrast. Also note that I have a beta version of Nightcap Pro to test out, so note that in case you try to reproduce with the public latest release, although from what I understand the new features are mainly about making the controls easier.
Targets (apps to try):
Moon (Native camera app - HDR, Pro Camera - HDR, Nightcap Pro) Jupiter (Native camera app - HDR, Pro Camera - HDR, Nightcap Pro) [will try pictures & HD video] M42 (Nightcap Pro, Pro Camera - HDR) Lovejoy (Nightcap Pro) various globulars (Nightcap Pro)
NSN Channel: Relativist

Thanks very much guys. I'm really looking forward to trying out the Sony a5100 as well. Not sure how deep it will go, but surely it'll go deeper than the iPhone. Weather permitting, I'll be broadcasting again this weekend.

Ok going to try again tonight! Finally have some time. First step is to try and collimate scope, if I can manage that I'll set up for broadcasting with iPhone 5s at a minimum.
