Description

So I wound up making an image that was not supposed to be last night. I mistakenly did a 300 sec sample image with my new camera and was surprised that the result looked ok despite no darks, flats, or guiding, even the stars cooperated and didn't become mini-wieners. That I could get an image of that duration at all in a Bortle 8 sky with no LP filter was surprising, but suggests the power of a new moon. Still much to fix like focus, vignetting and framing, but this was not meant to be an image to be kept, let alone processed.

Anyways, keen to get out again and do a proper imaging sequence.
