Thanks Lost in Space
I think doing all the little things right eventually shows up in your images
I’m pretty anal with clean mirrors, collimation, DSLR placement in focuser ( I use some Teflon tape to reduce the slop before tightening up the thumb screws), levelling Mount , mount balancing , framing and focus ( I don’t just rely on FWHM , I take multiple 30 second test exposures zoomed on a small star in the target field and get the tightest visual focus I can before imaging )
My processing software Startools does a great job, I’ve been using it for 18 months and still learning. It may not be that popular but I enjoy the results and it’s particularly good at reducing or eliminating gradients and noise etc
Thanks again
