I took some the previous night at 1600, and there was more noise than signal.[ slight exaggeration]. For some reason Neatimage failed to
improve the noise situation.
To get round stars I will be limited to 15 secs. It's not worth erecting and aligning my mount for the 10-12 secs
tracking it now gives me.
