Equipment Details:

Celestron EdgeHD 9.25" Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope, ZWO ASI294MC Pro cooled astrophotography camera.

Post-processing Details:

Captured with a "lucky imaging" video, used PIPP to generate individual TIFF files, hand-selected a batch of about 20 in a similar position and used PixInsight's Fourier Transformation to combine.

Image Details:

I was setting up my telescope for an evening of observations when my daughter pointed out hot air balloons in the distance. "Have you ever looked at those through your telescope?" The answer was, "not yet." This is what I saw!
