Description

A fully successful extension of the (pseudo) Lucky Imaging concept, made of exposures a few seconds long, to DSOs beyond the globular clusters.

Rather impressively, even the 12.35 magnitude galaxy IC1296 is visible, which make me think that this technique can be extended to many types of DSOs, also well outside of the Messier catalogue.
