Conditions were "FAIL" but I wanted to try the 9.25 after it had been off for a service at BCF, and this is one of the test images I took.
C9.25@F10 unguided 9 x 30s with Canon 450d, this is the full frame resampled to half size. No flats,bias or darks or field corrector.
Conditions: abysmal, lots of high cloud and through a pear tree.
And yes I know it's noisy - I only took 9 frames!
