PixInsight - image annotation

Recommended Posts

I have been processing with PixInsight for a while now and have been meaning to give the annotation script a try. With no real usable sky I had 90 minutes on NGC6921 last night but I didn't realise it was so small and actually only picked it out because it was centre frame  :lol:  A perfect image to try annotation on. Dust bunnies/sat trails and all ...

If nothing else, you can see my stars are not positioned correctly at frame edges.
