Description

This is one of the last Texas Star Party datasets I have, and I almost didn't process it because the stars were very triangular. That was a result of my Hotech field flattener causing flexure in my optics train, making the camera non-orthogonal to the image plane. But since the FOV is so wide on here, you can't really notice unless you zoom in, so it's not too bad!

I will be experimenting with some processes soon to learn how to minimize stars, which is an issue I've been having in a lot of my images recently. They totally overwhelm the DSO! So I'll be doing some re-processing as time goes on.
