Description

I finally was able to finish this small and dim target. I started imaging it 2 years ago, and i was not satisfied with the result at that time. Now i have acquired over 25 hours of integration time, and i still not very satisfied, but it will have be enough. 200mm aperture and 760mm focal length is in reality a bit short for this small target.

I used TransX/bayer to drizzle the crop by 3, then binning it down by 2.
