Description

This was an experiment to see what the Hyperstar system could do from my Bortle 7 backyard.

I was waiting for dawn to take flats for the last evenings session. It was positioned nicely just west of the meridian. I am really liking this f/1.9 light absorbing machine!! Heavily cropped. I didn't Drizzle either, no point with 12 subs.
