After the last experiment with M31 I thought I'd give it a try with more exposures. Also,
I took the dark frames this time by waiting until I had gathered about 50 images, then
defocusing the telescope for the next few. I'm not sure how well this'd work for a field
that included any bright objects, but this one didn't and it worked fine.
Check this out:
Not bad, huh?
I then swung the scope over to Saturn, and discovered that the seeing was fantastic,
so I figured I'd better give it a shot:
Successful night, I'd say.
