Description

65 frames of 3s, 300mm, f/5 ISO 16K.

I think the mount wasn't balanced very well, which is why the stars are elongated. Hoped to get 30 minutes of data, but clouds and sunrise left me with just 4 minutes.

There was a lot of variation in the background from start to finish, even for just 4 minutes, so I had to background subtract each frame individually before stacking. Got a much better result this way, else the later frames skewed the results.
