Description

I did lucky imaging for this capture literally. Clouds were rolling in fast as Sun had just set. I was unable to polar align scope since almost no stars were visible. I knew roughly where Polaris is from my backyard so I quickly turned on the scope and did a slew straight to Venus and I was surprised that it was almost in the Telrad circle when initially slewed.

I was getting drift which didn't surprise me since I wasn't polar aligned; thus only 25 % of my subs were good and I had to dump 75% of them. This from a stack of about 350 out of 1250 frames.
