Description

With a C14 at almost f/12, guide stars are hard to come by. I started this capture with a good one in the guiding chip but, after a meridian flip, the guide was lost (I don't have a rotator). After hunting around a big, the automatic star guide acquisition of CCDcommander found another one but then only part of the frame was in overlap. This is a crop on the ensuing image. It is pretty, I think...
