Description

A couple of wonder NGC1514 images here prompted a HOO attempt with very bright moon. One night with moon ~50 degrees away and a couple of nights ~12 degrees away. Only because NGC1514 is bright and very compact could a workable image come through. I would really prefer a darker cycle but decided to just share the result. In the end I just used DBE in Pixinsight and accepted the lingering background for now. I've never attempted anything so close to the moon before and NGC1514 deserves better.
