I still too the plunge to continue my Messier marathon.
The first target is M45 before it's sinking too low, I expect to spend 20 minutes with it for a 1.3x mosaic. Starting from around 20:40.
It refuses to perform AI denoise at 20 minutes, saying that the mosaic is incomplete. I shall wait a little bit longer, maybe until 25 minutes. So sad further exposure ruined the stacked image, I didn't save any individual and so it's really less than useable. Just a record, 25 minutes wasted.
Broken M45 mosaic:
I hope to do one more two more objects before closing.
M100 is the next one, really low. Let me do 8 minutes or so.
And then M98 with M99 before they sink too low (also with NGC 4208 plus NGC 4237), let me do around 8 minutes or so.
Then M67 for 5 minutes.
Finally M65 + M66 and also NGC 3628 before it snows (forecast), so for 30 minutes. Got only 13 minutes before cloud rolling in.
Not a bad night, the forecast was bad but I got a handful of targets done.
