Description

Comparison with Hubble image - the Hubble's is the one on the left! :-)

Each of the approx. 1100 frames is a 250ms exposure - taken as a video with QHY's EZPlanetary (can't enter the exposure time in the stats above as it wants a whole number of seconds!).

A very hard one to process, as because it is much fainter than a planet, though about the same size, the normal tricks of short exposures to "freeze" the seeing don't work.

I'd presume it's possible to do much better. I'd be interested to see what others can/have done on this object and what tricks/techniques people can recommend.
