Description

Lessons learned on this set:

- Bright stars like Gamma Cassiopeiae don't play well with the ASI1600. Only way I could find to avoid the microlensing artifacts is to use tons of very short subs.
- HSS is not an easy palette for beautiful, high contrast images.
- Pixel scale, Dawes limit, and seeing are not parameters to be approached casually.
