Description

Heavy smoke haze from the wildfires from other states leaking to Colorado, but still wanted to shoot. AQI around 150 most of the nights. Tried running drizzle for the first time and noticed an improvement even though I didn't intentionally dither (frame shift and multiple night differences only). Flattener arriving before next target shooting so that should help the field crop. Definitely some ringing from running deconvolution on the drizzled files (not sure why, need to figure this out, but couldn't after an hour of playing with the settings). Guiding was horrible with the smoke haze (0.8 - 1.5" error typically). Still, relatively happy with the results all things considered. Looking forward to building a library of data now that I'll actually have a flat field!
