Aperture rules! But image scale really impresses

Yeah I know it looks like the cut end of a sushi roll, but it is big

This was taken right at the tad end of the imaging session loooong after I should have given up, shooting about 20 deg above the roof of the house, (I guess the house isn't as thermall insulated as I though )

Positive eyepiece projection on the 8" meade sct using a 15mm celestron Ultima eyepiece, FL approx 14.6 m, F/73, 300/1200 stack. I guess if I hand sorted I'd find some decent ones but at 00:30 who cares

480X480 pixel crop, using Virtual dub and the fantastic PCFE to covert to bmps and center and crop.

Feel free to chuckle at the quality, but mines the biggest

Oh and I had to use a hell of a lot of gain at 1/25 sec which is why it's so grainy
