Description

In comparison to the image submitted earlier this year, this was a completely different data set of over 4 hours of 60 second exposures on a Skywatcher Star Adventurer GTi star tracker using NINA's built in Direct Guider functionality rather than 3.5 minutes of 10 second exposures on a conventional tripod.  Still, even with tracking, the stars are not great; I suspect given the consistent blue halos seen with pixel peeping that I lost focus at some point and failed to refocus the Sigma 14 mm lens.  Regardless, I think it is a substantial improvement from the earlier effort.
