About this image

Here I have stacked 100 x 2s exposures.

In UT, the capture start was at 20:55:47, midpoint 20:57:32, end 20:59:18.

* 4 Sep, 1850. I replaced this image, having noticed some of the stars were quite elliptical. I simply performed a better alignment of the source frames before stacking; the raw data was exactly the same.
