Those look excellent and sharp, though 4min should get you a lot more than that?

Maybe your ISO was at 100 or 200.

Col,

number 1 is very good for unguided :thumbsup:

Imagine how deep you could go with guiding :)

Your definately on the right track. Keep up the good work and before long we will be seeing your lovely deep Northern Hemisphere images.

thanks for your comments i think the issue with detail captured may be down to my light pollution:shrug:
i did use a neodymium filter to reduce this on the second image which seems to be working but i may have to do alot more frames to get past the l.p i think
