Description

I decided to try a challenge target for the EdgeHD 8 before switching back to one of my refractors. Arp 188 is the deepest I've imaged with its distance of 420 million light years. This is definitely a target that benefits from lots of aperture but the HD8 did better than I expected. I really pushed on the processing end to help things along by dithering aggressively with drizzle integration and pushing the scale to 2X.
