Description

Quick attempt/experiment to capture the core of M16 while waiting for Jupiter and Saturn to appear with a 14¨" Dobson. This is a Sharpcap Live Stack of  307 x 1 sec. Idea was that I might get more resolution with the smaller pixels of the ASI224 than with the ASI294 that I normally use for DSOs. Seems to have worked.  Quite pleased with this considering it was only  5 mins total integration using the Omegon City Lights LP filter. Will try again next year with more filters and more integration .  The Newtonian star diffraction pattern was added in Startools for artistic effect!
