Hi,

This was done 2 days prior to this post, with basic DSS Stacking this time i was using Darks and Flats although no bias frame. I am still very tired so can only spend little time on each. Still loving it though :)

20 Lights, 20 Darks, 20 Flats, 180 seconds. Light pollution :shrug: affects after this amount of time.

Mount is working really well, I can get subs up to 5 mins long with good star shapes.:thumbsup:

The image is cut significantly so the resolution is about 1/3 normal. I only have a 480 x 80 scope so was a small target. Not sure if the limiting file size and jpg quality is going to have a major affect on the view. One day i will start posting to a different site with full resolution.

EDIT: notice the satelitte running through the galaxy :)

Nice colour.
A lot less noisy than my effort.
