Description

This is a stack of two sessions of data, one taken in May of 2020 with the ASI183 on my EdgeHD 8 and the other taken in May of 2023 with the ASI2600 on my WO FLT91. Notably, super nova SN 2023ixf had just reached us in the second set of data and the stack maintained the super nova in the final image.
This was the first time I've merged a frameset from completely different cameras, scopes, and sessions into a single image.
