Description

Went out to shoot the Pleiades and try dithering for real. Ended up ruining part of the capture by sleeping through alarms thus reaching mount limits and the camera dying, but I'm happy with what I've got for now. Then it became a processing lesson. Still looking to pull out more vibrant but natural looking star colors and also keep the background blotchiness at bay. Dithering definitely helped on the latter, but its still visible.
