Description

My first try on this object, it was almost not worth trying due to over 70% moon brightness. But since I’m waiting from end of October on , I didn’t mind giving it a try.

The raw data didn’t show any details, so I was happy first to see anything at all.

I’ll definitely try again the coming clear nights without moon, so I’ll see it as a training to not forget the program workflow, even if it was hard to get back I to it.

Hope you still like seeing it .
