Description

First target with new scope. Lots of data but still not that great at processing I believe.

CRITIQUES FOR IMPROVEMENT WELCOMED

- Poor polar alignment

- Poorly executed flats - did not use

- Tube dropping out of focus several times

- Still oversaturating stars

- Target in light polluted portion of sky after 2 a.m.

- Techniques for centering were challenging for some reason

- RGB color alignment poor

- Got some great help from an AB expert...
