After a failed attempt during Friday's meet, here's my 2nd attempt on Sunday night back home.

Total integration time sadly cut short to just 42 mins, thanks intermittant clouds and also being a school night. Hope to come back at some point with some more data.

 

Processed with Startools and Gimp.

 

29x 180s lights

29x 180s darks

50 Bias

40 Flats

Really great Kev, an awsome view. The wide view really comes into it's own, and looks like you have the light/darks/flats.bias thing well worked out now!

 

Well done Kev ?

Thanks, Dave!

 

Hmm, I think I'm going wrong trying to upload 500kb jpgs.  Might look into linking my images from Google Drive or something, as they never seem to look like the uncompressed tiffs/fits on my monitor.

It's good as it is, but are you be able to add data to it to get it to where you would want it? It's a great view.

[8472]

Good point.

 

I don't have GOTO and all my framing is manual. I guess adding any additional subs to the stack is going to require some substantial cropping.

There's a lot of galaxies to see in that image. ?

Thanks Pete.

 

Been fine tuning my PA the past few days, so hopefully slightly longer subs aren't beyond possibility.
