Description

So what is the significance of showing hastily processed stack of seven 20-second exposures of M 44 on a not so clear night? It is my first image using Astrophotography Tools (APT). Don't get me wrong, I love BYE it is just I want to get some practice using APT in anticipation of running the monochrome camera that I would like to get sometime. Tonight was the perfect night to practice this as got to 70 degrees F (22 C) and there were wispy clouds. Serious imaging was out of the question but playing around with software was fine.
