About this image

It isn't exactly lucky imaging, but I did deliberately do shorter subs (here 5s) to improve resolution. I typically do 20s with my alt-az set-up.

Thanks Peter. These CMOS cameras are amazing with their low noise. I am going to take this opportunity of Y4's break-up to explore what can be done with high frame numbers and sharpening routines - let's see what happens with wavelets...
