Description

This is my first image using a Hyperstar.  F2 imaging is definitely a different world with many opinions of how to best utilize the fast optics.  Controlling stars while getting sufficient exposure is the obvious challenge.  This image was captured at unity gain (125) with 180 exposures.  Blur exterminator can correct and reduce the stars but color is still lacking.  Challenges ahead.
