Description

Went after this old target again now that techniques are ironed in more, including not imaging with the dew shield anymore (too many gradients introduced, even with proper flats) and getting backlash setup on SGPro; it works differently than I had expected, meaning it's incredibly effective and puts the thing right in focus first try. These stars were sharper than ever! I also revisited the usage of dark frames, which I abandoned years ago, and there was definitely some contrast improvement near the stars. I also have the gradients to a minimum lately, even in a very light-polluted area, which really helps!
