Description

In an attempt to avoid guiding issue caused by strong winds (up to 14 bft), instead of shooting NGC3628, attempted to do one of my favorites ones again. This time, using a sturdier mount and using way more data to get to an result.

(as future reference to myself - avg RMS was > 1'' due to wind gusts - so there is room for improvement)
