Stack of 26 out of 70 frames using Registax, some wavelets,
then some unsharp and resize in Gimp.

That f10 makes a sharp image. Nice one, Brian.

Well, the scope is only f5, but I had a 2x barlow on it.

The size reduction and post process sharpening is what made it
work. The original frames are not very good.

This is an old Meade 6600 scope that I got back in 1986 and back
then when I was younger I didn't take care of it very well. I also
think it has a turned edge.

Either that, or I still haven't mastered the art of collimation,
which is a distinct possibility. I don't see airy discs all that
often.
