| Notes | With the smaller size of the MX7-C chip, I was unable to include the 4th galaxy of this group, NGC 3185. It was probably too windy to image properly, but I went out anyway. While I had more tracking spikes due to the wind, the overall guiding was better, after my gear modifications and drift alignment. Moderate Maximum Entropy Deconvolution was required to reduce elongated stars. |
