Aberkenfig, South Wales

Skywatcher 254mm Newtonian Reflector, Tal 2x Barlow Lens, ZWO ASI 120MC
Captured in daylight using Firecapture.
Target located using setting circles.

Shutter=1.101ms
Gain=14 (14%)
Processed with Registax 6 & G.I.M.P.
A hot sunny afternoon with some breeze and the telescope tube wrapped with kitchen foil to alleviate thermal gain. A challenge to get the subject to an acceptable focus and difficult seeing conditions during capture. I had to shroud myself and the laptop with a large towel to view the screen.
Out of 8000 frames captured, about 1600 used for processing. Final image enlarged to 150%.
