Nice result, pity you  did not get a wider FOV. Quite some detail though..

 

You dither after actually every 10 minutes, still no walking noise, interesting....

Thank you !!

I used to dither every frame, then I figured that I could go every 3, and so I pushed it to 5.   I think you could even take it further, but pixel peeping I'm just starting to see the walking.  More integration time would remove it.

I really do wish I had a larger field of view, but my little scope is just for visual and I just don't thinking investing in optics for it to get it better is ever going to be good enough for how I want to use it. 

Moving forward ! :)

Clear Skies !!
