Description

I have been wanting to image this for a while and it always get sidetracked by other targets.. It has been a struggle collecting subs on this one.

We are having clear skies but wind gusts is killing the guiding.. I had 120x2min subs and ended up with 31x2min subs .

This gets behind the trees once it crosses the meridian as well. I am going to get as much L data as I can when the moon is small and hope to get RGB at some point later or next year

This is luminance only data shot with the ASI1600MM-cool/Edge11 combo at unity gain and an image scale of 0.28 arcsec/px

-- Version B: with 50x90s of more integration added.
