Hopefully this might be my last image posted before I take delivery of a new Sony A7s.

What a beautiful object this is, I could image it for days. But instead, I had to image between 3 discrete cloud coverages, for only 2mins at a time, for a total of 36 mins, at ISO 640. As I lost guiding all 3 times, the images moved quite a bit, so I was pleased that pixinsight coped well with the star alignment.

Tried the Canon Banding script too, it worked really well compared to the original.

As usual, goto Flickr (https://www.flickr.com/photos/48232585@N00/15793843068/) for the better rez version.

There's a lot of horse there for 36 minutes! I'm also hanging out for an A7s comparison.

Nice one Simon! Could you do a 36 minute with the A7S for comparison? ;)

Yep, that's the plan Dunk. A direct comparison will be ideal.
