Description

Now, this might not seem that much in terms of resolution and all, given the strides that the state of the art has had in the intervening 16 years but back then was one of the best for amateurs with amateur-sized scopes and certainly for an 8' from a backyard in the UK. Did this after the Campbell Hydrogen Star, which wetted my appetite for deep sky high resolution imagery, showing to me that very short (for the times) unguided exposures could be used to improve dramatically the results.
