Description

only 1.75 hours of integration.   clouds rolled in around midnight.  HIGH winds.   Not ideal for observing even.  Tried to squeeze as much data out as possible.  Will do this over at a later time.

Description: One final attempt to rescue some fairly crappy data. Last attempt on this dataset.

Description: This rendition is simply not very good. Lots of issues here and the first few attempts at post-processing used too much deconvolution. There is detail enough in this fairly large galaxy to support much less decon. In any case, I'm putting a final wrap on editions here. Not much more can be done, I'm afraid. Will attempt at purely f/10 next year one more time.
