Having been distracted by travel and Perth Observatory Volunteer group activities March through August, I was needing to check my gear and so did so from my suburban light pit. The resulting image lack definition as expected however the gear and processing are working. Also see Uncropped version. Canon 70D with EF 50mm f/1.8 lens at f/3.5. Ambient temp ~12C on Skywatcher Star Adventurer mount and tripod. DeepSkyStacker 3.3.4 Stacked 80% (24) of 31 Images ISO 800 @ 15 Sec, 32 DARK @ 120 Sec, 32 BIAS, 16 FLATS, Post-processed with Adobe Photoshop CC 2015

Orionid meteor shower watch - 12:15-12:49AM. Only one during this time. Image processed using DeepSkyStacker with Max mode on lights and no cosmetic hot pixel removal. The latter has left red, green and blue artefacts. See alternative processing with hot pixel removal, and a single image that contained the Orionid meteor. Canon 70D with EF 50mm f/1.8 lens at f/2.0. Ambient temp ~12C on Skywatcher Star Adventurer Mount and Tripod.
