Description:
This version was 284x30" sub exposures for a total integration of 2hrs, 22mins
A comparison of what the same equipment does in a bortle 2 with clear skies vs bortle 4 with a thin smoke screen from the wildfires out west. The final is only 30mins at the dark site, where this revision is over 2hrs at my parents bortle 4 driveway. In fact, at the bortle 2 site, I could expose for 60" subs before too many pixels were maxed out. At the bortle 4, 60" maxed out too many pixels and I had to lower exposure time to 30" to get approx. the same result as far as having around the same amount of maxed out pixels per sub. This revision is full of walking noise because I was too lazy to fiddle with the guiding/dither settings in order to have the mount settle properly after a dither. Both versions are lights only, no calibrations frames used as this was just a test/comparison.
