Description

Building on the image of March 9th, 2021, I added many more lightframes on the night of March 13th to obtain a better picture.

The problem was that seeing was quite bad on the latter night, with medium-high level turbulence that caused the stars to "pulse" live on the screen, hence after 20 seconds of light integration they looked way "fatter" that they had on the 9th.

However Astro Pixel Processor made a great job at stitching together the data from the two quite different nights and Star Tools completed it by producing a more or less satisfying final image.
