Description

Some issues with the data on this one--stacking artifacts on some of the stars.  I didn't want to re-do the integration, since the original data has issues with tilt--cropped out the bad stars.  Just not worth the time, and I'm ready to move on to my next target.  Fortunately, about a week after I took this image, I was able to take care of the tilt/spacing issue by using a different camera adapter (Baader UFC Filter Slider system).  Round stars in the corners now.  Drizzled the data, since I'm undersampled with the 294MC on the RASA 8 at 2.39."  Used the SkyX unguided dithering script, which is nice since I can still dither without auto guiding.
