Description

Because my guiding didn't work well and it was 02:00 in the night and didn't to fix it in the cold (-7 degreed), I decided to just let the mount track the target and set the exposures to 30s @ ISO3200.

When I woke up, I saw APT was still shooting sharp images but I needed to stop because of my work..

I shot 382 frames in total and DSS used about 265 frames.

I'm amazed about the quality because of the high ISO and short exposure.
