Hello again !
I thought I'd drop these all at once . I've been working on them for weeks , watched a lot of tutorials about Pixinsight .

What I'm most happy about is that I managed to get my Dslr working with the AsiAir Plus on a Star Adventurer GTI and now have access to widefield : )
Most of the attached pics were taken about a month ago over 2 nights except for the Antares nebula which I collected on Friday night .
Processed in Pixinsight and Lightroom
Skywatcher 150 ED ZWO6200 OSC Skywatcher AZ-EQ6-GT ASIair Plus

I found M83 difficult to process . 4 x 15 minute subs
50 darks 20 flats 20 bias

Lagoon was a surprise , I've never seen it in any detail . I must have been in a hurry to get to the next target because I only collected 2 x 10 minute subs . Stacked in DSS .

The Fighting Dragons looked quite dull so I took 4 x 15 minute subs .
50 darks 20 flats 20 bias

I didn't know what else to do with the Pillars of Creation .
6 x 10 minute subs
50 darks 20 flats 20 bias

I reprocessed IC4603
4 x 15 minute subs
50 darks 20 flats 20 bias

The Antares nebula was a pleasant surprise . Astro modified Canon 5Dr with a 70-300mm zoom lens . 166mm focal length for this pic . Some wierd looking stars around the edges .
10 x 10 minute subs
20 darks 20 flats 20 bias

Great images Rusyt2.

Give's us some hope if we keep reading and watching video tutorials online.

But, I must admit that processing and computers aren't out strong point!

Thanks for sharing.

Regards
