A Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ72 bridge camera mounted on a static tripod, was used to capture images at 1/160s exposure and 60x optical zoom: 118 at ISO 1600 and 98 at ISO 400; These were the best 90% of the captured images at each ISO setting. All of the images were precisely cropped for each ISO setting, in Nicola Mackin's AstroCrop software. The data were stacked (best 90%) separately in Autostakkert!3 and wavelet processed in Registax 5.1. The two resulting images were derotated and merged in Glimpse Image Editor (A fork of the Gimp).
