Everyone's missing the obvious, that's a damn good effort to capture that at f 11.9

Well said Rick

I thought the image achieved what the imager set out to do quite well.

Is this the Sean Spicer take on this?

i.e. no actual effort at all (no darks, flats, guiding, focusing, field corrector, stacking, processing etc.etc. )

being a deemed "dammed good" effort

Call me Blackadder.

Who once commented that "it started badly, it tailed off a little in the middle and the less said about the end the better — but apart from that it was excellent."

Oh this is turning out rather quaint.

[doppler (Rick)]

"Lucky imaging" at it's best ?

If Phil is happy with his images...good...it really matters not what anyone else thinks, in the grand scheme of things.

I'm simply not into PC.....which reminds me....Baldrick! I have a cunning plan for my next image!

[LewisM]

It's like comparing Airbus to Boeing - with Phil's effort being Airbus...

Within the constraints I set for the experiment and my first ever astro image, it turned out better than I thought it would .......I was expecting a lot worse lol

Perhaps your misunderstanding of the intent meant you have misread or didn't understand the first post ??

You've picked up the core nicely Phil, only so much you can do in 30s
