Description

I wanted to go for something really far-away and dim. I love galaxies, so why not do a galaxy cluster. I chose Abell 2666. It turned-out better than I expected. I did use a 2xdrizzle when stacking in DSS -- I think it helped. I read that it could help with small objects and over-sampled data. I also cropped a lot of the outside away -- too many distorted stars. I need to get the new focal reducer/flattener.

Data was actually captured over 3 nights in Aug/Sept 2022.
