Description

This was an experiment to determine if I could get images with my C14 mounted on my CGX-L. The result was yes and no. It was a moderately windy evening and I didn't have a bahtinov mask that would fit my large scope. The images weren’t quite focused and I had a lot of oblong stars. APP wouldn’t even stack the frames properly. My imaging buddy, James Peirce, took on the task of making something out of my data as kind of a challenge. In my opinion the result he got was a minor miracle. He really is good at post processing.
