Hi Alex, what an interesting topic. One point I learnt in the video is that to double resolution (according to some Exeter University paper), exposures need to be less than a second and only the best 10% are used. That’s a lot of effort for marginal gain. However the idea that we amateur astrophotographers can theoretically even slightly break past the limiting factor caused by our atmosphere is very exciting indeed.

Astrobiscuit has a discord server where several imagers combine their data for DSO lucky imaging. I look forward to seeing what they can achieve. Perhaps we will start to see more of this type of astrophotography in the future. I would like to give this a go one day, but still have much to learn in the mean time.
