Ok, so it's been a long while since I posted my last image and I haven't managed to make use of the good imaging conditions that have been few and far between due to ill health.
I finally got to experiment using my Atik 314L mono I purchased off a fellow IISer here some seven months ago, yes it has not been used for that long :sadeyes: and I'm totally over the moon with the results... :cool: I know that I have a long way to go before I get anything decent and my processing is hit and miss but hey it is feels so good to finally be able to produce results that are worthy of posting :D
Anyways... as always, any thoughts and advice is muchly appreciated :)

Thanks Bo... looking forward to spending more time out there and brushing up on my techniques :)

Very nice Rocky; I had a quick go at it last night, but it is very
difficult to get enough data with an uncooled, unguided DSLR.

Thanks Raymo... there's probably enough data there to produce a better quality image than what I've acheived but it's a starting point and I hope to get better at processing in time...
I started my AP journey using a DSLR and found that I couldn't put in the time needed to get decent data so I dived into CCD imaging hoping to produce better results... thanks for looking!
