Description

I took it last year in September with an Optolong LeNhance filter but was not initially happy with the noisy subs. My usual summer observing site was closed along with other national parks in California due to fires so I went to the desert instead and the temperature was quite high, in the range 75-61 F (~24-16 C)! The subs were quite noisy as a consequence. I recently gave it a chance and stacked the subs and surprisingly the result was better than I expected. Here is an HOO version with added RGB stars that were taken later.
