Pelican close-up

I had a half-hour of imaging time left after one of my customers finished up tonight. I took two 15-minute unbinned red images of the neck area of the Pelican. This is way underexposed - this area wants a really long exposure time! - but it's still an interesting area, so I thought I'd post this image anyway.

Taken with the ST-1001E and C14. Reduced to 80% of full size to help mask the noisness due to the short exposure time.

A fascinating closeup, Ron!

This target really complains for more exposure time, even for the ST 1001E.
