Richard posted a fine version of this galaxy a while ago, so I thought that
it was time for me to reshoot it too. Seeing or focus were bad at the start
of the session, later I refocused and got much tighter stars. Of course
clouds rolled in after a few of the good frames, so 90% of the frames had
blurry stars.
Taken from the middle of Berlin with a 10" Meade ACF at f/6.4 on a G11
mount, SXV-H9 camera, 31x5 minutes.
