Dumping lots of frames on M5

[riklaunim]

Did a simple "experiment" of collecting 1700 frames at 30 sec over few nights for M5 (RedCat 51, ASI178MM, UHC filter) to see how much background I can get out of it and what's the noise will be like. Sadly not that much magic detail there, but at least it does look nice

1700 subs stack should be saved as 32bit floating point fits rather than 16bit.

You can loose quite a bit of precision as 1700 subs is almost 11 additional bits.

a great experiment.... good to try new things....and a great result

Hope you don't mind - I took liberty to process the fits you posted, here is result:
