xmas tree

Not too good last night. My longest effort yet sat freezing on the terrace: 63 exposures after adjusting the declination axis. I must be mad. I should have known not to bother. Had to guide DEC south-only with the resultant dither in RA-only producing streaking of the hot pixel noise. Anyway, practised my processing skills instead and so salvaged something. Don't zoom too close...
