Description

Markarian Chain at around 52 million light years.

This one survived many obstacles: computer failure in the field, out of focus initial sequence run, the worst dew problem I have ever seen, missing filter wheel drivers in the field with no internet, discovering our light box for flats actually has a dimmer (no more plastic bags), bad darks, not enough blue subframes, discovering (after days of work) that Pixinsight Darks Optimization needs to be OFF, meridian flip issues. Only the satellite trail crept into the final result. It's all part of the story and the adventure.
