Description

My last DSO using the 8" SCT prior to shattering my write over the Christmas Holidays 2018. It was an incredibly cold night, and the un-cooled camera sensor got down to -13C on its own.

Taking DSO shots on the new moon closest to the Solstice meant I also had a LOT of time for data capturing... which obviously helped with the processing and output.

By far, my favourite work of 2018.
