Below are four images. Two are original CR2 converted to jpg, the other two are stacked images converted from tif to jpg.
The Milky Way stack was 5 shots at 10 and 5 at 20 seconds these ones are not too bad. The second pair are of Orion rising and as you can see there is plenty of light pollution in the bottom right - Tullamarine airport about 15 k away. In reviewing these it seems I maybe expecting too much with the difficult conditions and limited shots. I must admit i am a bit wary of DSS, it is slow and somwhat cumbersome, i tried the trial version of Maxim (overseas with my first set of star photos when i was still finding out what the camera could do - Ursa Major) it seemed to reproduce star colour very well and it was easy to use but at the moment i can not afford it.
