Photo description / processing

Added a couple of hours of integration, shot during the full moon, there was a lot of rejected frames due to poor guiding, then the mount was taken away from the site altogether, I gave up and finished there) still haven't figured out what the problem was with such a large number of rejected frames — the mount or the guide being flooded by moonlight, got the idea to build a dew shield for the guide to avoid direct moonlight.
