Comments
Color frames taken with 1st quarter moon
Seeing was ok but the moon caused loss of contrast, and gradients
Needs a few more hours to bring out the faint nebulosity. It is a rather faint object.
Guiding was ok for dec (.7 rms error) but a little worse in ra (0.9 rms error).
The image above is at 1/16th scale (~1k x 1k)
