Description

New moon, freezing temperatures and no clouds for five straight nights !
I tried to capture as much data as I could.
With no surprise  I had very few noise on my final stacked result.
However, I got fed up with the flimsy star adventurer (wich was a big improvement on my first mechanical mount). I can't manage, even with a good polar alignement  (drift method on PHD2) and RA autoguiding, to obtain round stars. So I ordered an EQ6-R : one problem soon solved.
My other concern is with heavy undersampling and really blocky stars. I'm looking forward for a real cooled astro camera with small(er) pixels.
I will publish other versions later. Treatment is very subjective... subject.
