Description

My first attempt at multi-session stacking in Astro Pixel Processor. There's probably 70 minutes of exposure time stretched across several nights in February. A fair few frames were discarded due to tripod wobble and some slight tracking weirdness from the LX2 in the cold conditions (normally well behaved). Exposures ranged from 45-90s at ISO200. The lens was at 200mm and wide open (so probably f5.6)

Further processing performed in Startools, using autodev successfully - another first.
