Hi All,


 


Well after a very stressful few hours with PHD refusing to work then working then stopping then working again I finally got some shots off last night but I ran out of time after an hour and couldn't take anything other then the lights..


 


But happy with the result so far just need to spend more time getting more data and get the Darks/Flats/Bias sorted :)


 


Any how the below is the result of

x2 480s ISO800


x3 300s ISO1600


x2 420s ISO800


x1 90s ISO1600

Great work. Always amazed by how much you can get teasing out the data from the preprocessed version.

Interesting that you used different iso and exposure times. Was it a straight stack or is it a composite in some way?

Can't fully control exposure length from pc in bulb mode on my nikon it seams so am looking at options... manually control and have different exposure lengths or bite the bullet and buy a moded canon at some point and dedicate it to astro... But that's for another post.

Super image!
