Heres my first stacking attempt using PS using a tutorial found at www.rocketroroberts.com/astro/calibration.htm . Unfortunately its a rush attempt due to uncanny cloud interfernce and uncomfortable scope positons ......details
1.Eta carinae/keyhole nebula at F/6.3
2.5x 140sec stacked in PS and dark frame calibrated
{must admit i prefer wider frame shots of the neb}

Nice work Beren. Did you adjust the red levels in Pshop as well. It looks way more red than any of my Eta shots with the DSLR.
Cheers

Thanks crew {howdy Jo ,thanks mate}....Robby i only tweaked it a little in levels/curves , not sure if im doing the dark frame subtraction correctly i seem to be getting some red effects or something creeping in. Wow Paul dont remember seeing those shots ,top stuff.
