16 4-minute lights plus calibration frames were stacked using Deep Sky Stacker; background extraction with SiriL; other post-processing with Photoshop CS2 plus Astronomy Tools plugin, and Microsoft Photo.
I missed the opportunity to image the minor planet Ceres at opposition due to clouds but was able to get an image of the dwarf planet last night, which was one day following opposition. Estimated magnitude of Ceres at the time of image capture was 7.04 - not quite visible to the unaided eye but visible with binoculars .
