| Description | On an otherwise clear, moonless evening, we experienced a thin layer of high clouds which limited integration time. The "Diffuse Filaments" are not as clear as they would have been had we been able to increase integration time. However, they were just perceptible in SharpCap's live screen in a darkened room where I observe. A very faint arm is evident in the enlarged, contrast-enhanced view applied to the original, SharpCap .png saved "as adjusted". |
