Description

This started out as a test of some realigning I did to my secondary spider vanes.  Needed a bright star, chose Alnitak.  The vane straightening was done on-the-fly, and I suppose I should add while mildly irritated, after I didn't like the look I was getting starting off another target.  So a few other issues like collimation and backspacing weren't exactly dialed in.  Nonetheless, this is a pretty region, so I set up a sequence and then grabbed a second session at the end of the month.  Good astro nights have been few and far between.

Stacked with PI WBPP and processed repeatedly for a couple months, this last time in StarTools 1.9.565 beta to test a new stretching upgrade.
