Not a great target for a 80mm apo, but had to see what I could get
My star shapes are terrible and my processing and stretching has bloomed them out further :(

2xdrizzle then heavy cropping on the small asi533 sensor.


Taken yesterday.

Explorer Scientific 80mm / 480mm FL triplet.
HEQ5
ASI 533MC pro - ir/uv filter
76x 2 minute exposures + various calibration frames
Bortle 5/6 (Brisbane suburbs)
No Moon
-5C camera

SharpCap for PA
APT for images + dithering
DSS stacking 2x drizzle
Startools for processing then final levels with Krita
PHD2 <0.5 px error
