Description

Lucky imaging (or at least my personal brand of it) definitely works with bright DSO and a moderately big telescope like a C6.

Short imaging times (3s) limit any tracking issue, while the overall integration time over hundres of shots is enough to reveal many of the fainter stars.

The only drawbacks are the need for computing power and disk space.
