Description

This year I did a lot of shooting of objects that were side dishes rather than entrées. Not that they were lesser objects, but more that they weren't what I was primarily trying for on any given night. The Iris was one of those. I was gathering data on some neighbors in Cassiopeia and had some time to kill before they emerged over the trees and decided to frame up The Iris. Frankly I did not research thoroughly and framed it with the side that has the least exciting dust field showing. This data also comes from the middle of my wobbly mount issues and before I was truly aware how much my stars suffered from the lack of flat field correction. I plan to shoot next year with it as the primary.
