Description

First image after second-lockdown (and before the Christmas one)

I try to do some improvements over my previous sessions:

- use of ISO1600, that should be the ideal value for my EOS6D

- more bias (30) and dark (30 for each exposure time)

- less targets, more integration time

- dithering by little mount movement: this really decrease the amount of walking noise in the final image
