Image DetailsUp is 85.0 degrees E of N. Transparency: Good. Seeing: Good. Total integration time was 31m. Exposures 15s@300g, UV/IR Cut Filter. Darks subtracted. Dithered and recentered in SharpCap. No guiding.
DescriptionA cool, clear night with decent seeing but it started with a strong wind so I set up the Askar at 600mm on my pier instead of the EdgeHD. Slightly under-powered for this relatively small target, but not bad considering. Yet another William Herschel discovery, in 1783.
