Thanks Ray. Not sure if it's a starlink. I don't think it's flats that remove trails, rather it's the stacking process, and I don't think I took enough subs.

Great image with a ton of detail
No filters too and moon up
Frame this one for your living room

Thanks Martin. I think I want to get some more data on this one. My guiding failed when I tried to get more data the next night. I think 4 hours on this one; under dark skies would be good for the living room.

Thanks Robert. Someone at Bintel told me that stacking is all very well but if you don't go deep enough there is no faint detail to bring out. I normally now go a minimum of 5 minutes and try for 10 minutes on the fainter objects. Globs and clusters seem to really only require a minute.
