About this image

This was a test image without filter or dark frame after acquiring a Dwarf II camera recently for wider field imaging than my conventional telescopes. The result on a night of constant passing cloud was surprisingly good once I could persuade the camera to connect with my iPhone. As soon as it calibrated it was able to locate targets with ease.
