| 144 second (12 x 12 sec.) exposure using the PC camera
with Dave Allmon's QCV2 software on the 8" Newtonian.
This bright core on this small globular located just over 1 degree
NW of M22 makes capturing the surrounding stars a challenge. Tracking
wasn't as precise as I would have liked either. Its defintely
worth a second try.
Dark frame processing, image alignment, and stacking was done with
Dave Allmon's DarkGen program. Final processing performed with Photoshop.
