Description

I originally attempted to process 718 light frames for this image BUT ...my computer crashed...well, it didn't crash. Pixinsight failed to render a Master frame due to  memory deficit. Thus I have appealed to my household financial advisor for a new PC rig.

However, in the meanwhile I took 164 of the light frames and ended up with this final cropped image. Considering we are dealing with a small 3 1/3 inch refractor I am pretty pleased.
