My first astrophoto here,

I have been imaging for bit over 2 years now and have been trying different capture and processing methods. I use a unmodded DSLR in a bortle 6/7 zone, which presents a lot of challenges as you would know.

This is roughly 3hrs worth of data of the key hole nebula.

Comments welcome :)

How long were your exposures ? Ever considered guiding ?

Thank you :)



Thanks Martin, I use 60sec subs at ISO800 seems to be the sweet spot on my Canon. I'm planning on guiding in the near future as I loose a lot of subs with elongated stars. Just adding one challenge at a time :)
