Hello folks, haven't posted for yonks -the usual -work, hobbies other than astro, weather, kids, blah etc
Here is a poor Dark tower in Scorpius, OSC QHY8pro and Baby Q, 10.5 hrs of 5 min subs. I tossed a lot away due to clouds, some of the seeing was bad and I haven't taken any calibration yet. Also this is a rough process as i really don't know much about photoshop. The usual curves etc.
Anyway, I am glad to be under some skies and taking photo's again.
If anyone wants the 32 bit DSS file to have a better crack at processing then give me some tips I am happy to share.

Hi Graham,
I like that shot, clouds are certainly a pain in the ass and we have had a lot of them this year.

Cheers
Peter
