Description

I've been looking forward to re-capturing this target ever since my first attempt with a small 80mm refractor last year.

Now I'm back, with a bit more reach and (hopefully) a bit more experience.

I originally shot and edited this as an SHO composition, but the Sii signal was very limited, so I tried this HOO option as well. Diffraction spikes added in post for some artistic effect.

I hope to get a few more hours to add to this before the summer season is over, and maybe even add some RGB.
