Description

This was an experiment I'm not likely to try again. This was shot at native focal length with the RC and I used 2X2 binning on the STF-8300M. The binning caused blooming on my brightest stars. You can see little nipples sticking out on the right side of them. I also had some green squiggles coming out the bottom of those stars.

Anyway, this was 23 subs with the Luminance filter and 10 red, 7 green, and 9 blue; all binned 2X2 and 300 seconds each.
