Description

Overly stretched this a bit. Was a very experimental project on many fronts. I wanted to see how much I can get away with in regards to dithering: ra only, both axis, every X subs. The dither RA only produced the worst of the data (introduced weird patterned noise). Both axis works fine, but I lost a lot of subs doing so because of poor dither settle and other issues. Every X subs works as well, just not as good as dithering every sub. I also opted for more short exposures on this project and tested the 1x1 binned mode vs 2x2 of the 294mm camera.. A lot going on!
