| Image Details | Up is 91.0 degrees E of N. Total integration time was 15m 30s. Exposures 30s@305g, UV/IR Cut Filter. Darks subtracted, no flats. Dithered and recentered in SharpCap. No guiding. |
| Description | Started observing as the moon was rising and as a remarkably clear night was starting to gain clouds. The first 12 minutes of integration took about 15 minutes, the last 3 minutes took another 15 minutes. Decided to move on when SharpCap couldn't align for about 20 straight frames. Pity, because I would have enjoyed improving the image with additional integration. |
