This is a tale of two images. These were taken on successive nights.
Same setup, same exposure time, everything.
The first night was unguided.
… and the second night was autoguided with my trusty ST-4.
This was kind of a test of the G-11 Gemini to see how good it could perform without a guider.
The guided image is definitely better. But the unguided one is not too shabby.
