Description

Okay, this was a humbling picture.

It was my first time trying to use my new mount (CEM70), a NUC + NINA instead of ASIAIR, and chance to shoot the same target over multiple sequential nights. It worked, but I realized after the fact that my dithering was horrible. I was either doing it too little (every 4 frames) or had it set to non-random. As a result, there are faint streaks. Oh-well, a good learning opportunity.

Yeah, check your dithering settings.
