Description

This is my first data set that I process from the Premium Image Sets provided as a member of iTelescope.net.
We get these amazing datasets every 14 days, taken with a 20" PlaneWave CDK at the Siding Spring observatory in Australia!

The date of Nov 19 is when I obtained the dataset, so these images were taken during the 2 week period prior to this. Number of frames:
    Qty 5 luminance, 900s exposures
    Qty 5 red, 900s exposures
    Qty 5 green, 900s exposures
    Qty 3 blue, 900s exposures (2 other frames were bad)
