I found these subs from earlier in the year so I decided to put them together and moderately pleased with the result. A fair bit of colour noise due to the massive 12.5 minutes of data.
An hour or two would be lovely but this is 25x 30 second subs at ISO 6400.
Thanks for looking!

Wonderful image. Many details, excellent colors and very natural colors ! Very nice image. Congratulations !
I didn't see many noise. The problem, if you want to find any one, is the little drift of stars. Without this drift the details of key hole would be very better.

Thank you Jorge! Yeah it is a bit of a shame about some of the stars, hopefully I'll be able to do it again better next year.

Yeah the skies here aren't that bad, if you can control the noise you get pretty much pure data
I agree with all of the previous comments Jo - an astonishing degree of detail especially considering the limited amount of data. The combination of that scope you built, the amazingly capable 1100D, and your dark skies make a pretty top notch combination. Congratulations!

A great idea Kevin, I saw the black stump once and it's pretty solid, you might be able to use it as a pier
No processing Jo, other than RGB, Luminance, and saturation in DSS,
and a little sharpening and downsizing in PS. I'm struggling to find time
to read my PS Astronomy book, and practice with my newly acquired
PS Creative Cloud.
I have always been impressed by the very low level of CA displayed by
my budget level achro. Only a faint hint when observing the moon.
