Description

Highly experimental, under full moon, but good seeing. The moon washed out the fainter outer detail, but the central region of the galaxy came out nicely, so I thought it was worthwhile posting though.

I stacked seven 2 minute live stacks of 1s exposures to obtain this test image at 0.25 arc second per pixels. Transparency issues from thin high clouds and the full moon limited the results, but still very promising!
