Description

This was taken from a Maksutov 5" (Meade ETX 125). 

This photo is low contrast due to the fact that it was shot during twilight when the sky was not completely dark. It had to be done because otherwise I had to wait a long time as the roof would be the obstruction for a long while. This was done soon after I collimated the primary mirror. I am more than pleased with the result.

I used Winjupos to derotate 6 clips starting from 17:42 to 17:59 local time. The result was far better than stacking from single clip.

The total number of frames captured from 6 clips is <!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->14,874 frames, the total number of stacked frame is 8,614 frames.
