What a fantastic camera! Yes there are glitches (mainly due to, probably, the mirror having a sudden jump and the guiders
being slow to move the images back, and since the guiders take 20-30s to move back, this has a big impact on 120s or 180s
exposures), but for a new new new instrument, it is just AWESOME!
