Finaly some clear sky, sat up until 3 am with a clear run all night, could have kept going but things to do Sunday.
Been playing with ImagesPlus and processing different exposure stacks and then combining.
Sort of happy with what I got as trying to keep the Trap detail without loosing too much of the nebula cloud at the edges. Not sure if I should be stretching the group stacks before combining or not as I seem to lose some sharpness and the feint detail.
This was stretched before combining.
Images series were
DSLR 550D, RC8 with Orion field flattener,
iso 800 in 60 seconds, 120 and 180 groups. Can't remember total time have to add it up but was about 2 hrs 30 or just a bit less. Darks subtracted as well.
Comments welcome.
