| Description | This was the last observation of an evening that included high quality observations of M110 and NGC 772. The quality of the calibration frames is much improved. At this time I still didn't "get" how to control SharpCap's live display, and was capturing the raw frames, restacking in ASTAP, and finishing in Affinity Photo. The Silver Sliver is thought to be almost precisely the same size of the Milky Way, and presents a very similar appearance if we were able to view our galaxy from a similar vantage point. |
