Description

First real attempt with guiding, at least before clouds made a mess. It's been a while since I've tried to process something like this and looks like I'm a bit rusty, as can be seen from the background noise etc (mostly red, really obviously bottom left corner) which only really shows up on one monitor.

Flats didn't quite work again, I think a possible reason may be that I wasn't holding the light source quite straight causing a slight gradient of over correction at the bottom of the images. (Or something else happened, I'm not particularly good at taking flats, hah)

Hopefully I can reattempt and add more data if there is another clear night this week.
