Hi.

Had a bit of fairly steady air before the clouds rolled in, but a gusty sea breeze exposed the inherent instability of the 12 inch Newt on an NEQ6. Nonetheless, there were enough steady frames at 60hz framerate to resolve some finer features. Took extra care refocusing between RGB sequences, so the stack has limb regions with some colour mismatch - now need to work out a way to compensate for that effect. Will also need to work out better way to place the moon after processing - done by eye in this case. Also seems to be a very bright spot on the equator-side edge of the NEB - looks interesting.

Thanks for looking. Regards Ray
