Description

With this object I feel I have surpassed the limits of my non-autoguiding methodology. I am not totally displeased with it, but I have had to deal with some stubborn streaks which with my limited skills in post processing, I attempted to minimize. However, there remains some clear troubling artifacts. I owe much to Pat Dormody in getting this far with this image. I plan to go down the autoguiding route, somewhat reluctantly, once we start getting some clear nights here in Northern California in order to start practicing. This is totally new to me, and makes me a bit nervous. However it seems if I want to do dimmer objects such as this I need to autoguide. Thanks for looking! CS, Tom
