A small step forward.
Used star tools and finally started with images that were aligned.
still a long way to go but I think this is better than the first one I posted. Could not get the colour my daughter was able to produce:)

Amazing image !! Your really getting great use out of Startools
I’m still weaving my way through all the modules , so so much to learn
On another note , I finally got my PHD2 guiding working last night, picked a random star field ,auto selected a star, started looping , hit PHD and was guiding around 2.9 to 3.5 arc seconds , couldn’t believe it. Took a 3 minute test exposure and no trailing just sharp stars. I’ve been trying off and on for weeks , hopefully it wasn’t just good luck

Anyway keep going with Startools !! Great software
Cheers

Thanks Martin as usual it does not look half as good when I finished.
I thought the stars were much brighter.
But I am slowly learning.
And my data looking at it now is not flash.
Great to hear PHD is working.
My first run was probably the best I ever had☺

The detail in the pic is great Alex, such a vibrant red.
What size scope are you using?

Hi Karl
The image was my first go at narrow band.

ZWO1600 8 place filter wheel on heq5 thru an 80mm espirt triplet refractor.

I should mention that I am colour blind so it is no doubt not correct colour.
