| Notes | Seeing and transparency average. Something was terribly out of alignment in the imaging train, and it resulted in odd shaped stars. In addition, there were at least 4 large dust motes to contend with. I was able to "fix" most of this in PhotoShop, but overall, not one of my better efforts. |
