AR 1543--Decent Seeing
I took this image of AR 1543 this afternoon. Seeing was considerably better than yesterday. A lot more detail is visible on this image than the one I took yesterday. This is a stack of 164 of 1003 frames. Below is another image taken about 10 minutes later:
Seeing had improved even more. Note the improved contrast and fine detail in the spot "center" on this image. The upper image has been cropped, but the lower one if full resolution (1280 x 720).
