Description

A mixed bag of live stacking 5s and 10s exposures into 120s macro subs and real lucky imaging of 1s subs.

Lesson learnt: 1s subs have almost half the FWHM of 10s subs (revision C for details). Next step is to shoot 1-2hrs worth of 1s subs and stack the best half... this should get me below 2“ FWHM which is awesome in my crappy rooftop skies. Although that wouldn’t be called EAA anymore probably.

Lots of room for improvement. Let’s see how the next night turns out.
