First run for about a week due to poor weather.
This set was done right after a successful 2nd Quasar imaging set. (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showpost.php?p=1163914&postcount=13)
Another '10ft from the monitor' job :)

Seeing was average, a vibration causing eggy stars 11o'clock to 5 o'clock\has me puzzled.
Diffraction spikes almost non-existent compared to this previous set (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showpost.php?p=737492&postcount=13) (2nd image)
due to thinner vanes, from Jun 2011.

A combo of the 2011 and 2015 data.
Again, hit f11 and 10ft from monitor and the pic looks
half reasonable! :D
Oh, my kingdom for a mountain-top!
