I was so disappointed with my first go at processing this one that I spent basically an entire day sorting through all of the subframes and tossing out all of the bad ones. Turns out there was a lot of them, which contributed to the low quality of the end result. This time turned out better, but I think the raw data just isn't good enough to get the image I want. I'm definitely going to try this one again in the future.
