Description

The title says it all: This was my first try of lucky imaging with my then-new ASI camera on a large focal length of 1000mm, without active guiding! So the maximum possible exposure time was limited to 15 seconds, due to the periodic error of my mount. This means a lot of images to sort, align and stack!

Additionally I had some trouble when processing the final stack in Startools. The mask selection when in deconvolution mode is a bit tricky, so some stars are now more a square than an airy disk...

Nevertheless, enjoy it, as far as you can :-)
