Quick Snap of the Trap

[qcdougn]

I took this quick snap of the Trap area as I was closing down my efforts with lunar imaging. It was the first "star" images that I've attempted with the DMK-31 since I had bought it primarily for lunar.

I'm not sure if I have accurately captured the additional stars usually not seen in the Trap. Maybe someone can veriify this. I took approx. 12 frames @ 1/2 sec each and stacked in Registax. This was taken with a CPC-1100 @f10.

Cheers

You've definitely caught the E star (between the bottom two) and I think the F (near the top left star) although there's another star near it that I don't recognise...

The two 11th mag companions of the trap are clearly visible, 4" sepatation looks large on this scale, I know its a quickie but you should have done a few more subs to smooth out a bit more. Great result for a lower altitude HiRes target.
