And one satellite.

Thanks for looking.

Paul Nice pic there mate! Well done.

[AstroViking]

Great image there Paul. Nicely done.

I would have expected DSS to remove that satellite trail, did you have all the right settings in there?

Great shot Paul. As V said, "Kappa-Sigma clipping", in the "LIGHT" tab of the "stacking parameters" in DSS will get rig of the trail, or just ditch the sub?

Thanks Steve, Steve and John.

I appreciate the compliments.

I am extremely happy with the results.

Thanks for helping out with the tips with
Deep Sky Stacker.

I wasn't aware of that function and I will be
sure to look for it with my next attempts.

You are correct, I could have ditched the sub,
yet I also accept that satellite trails are a reality.

It's good to know we have choices to remove them
if required

Hi Paul,
I may have sent these Deep Sky Stacker procedures to you in the past but here they are again and hopefully will provide some guidance and improved outcomes with your Astrophotography

All the best
