Another all night session !

[bluescope]

I decided to get my 10inch Newt out last night and despite a dodgy polar alignment managed to get these images .... some of my best so far.
Headed for bed at 5.30am as the sun was about to rise and Venus radiated brilliantly.
All were 20sec exposures @ iso800 stacked with one dark frame subtracted. I filtered the images to 80% in DeepSky Stacker so the exact number per shot eludes me without checking. I try to take around 30 frames usually but the Running Man was only around 7 shots from memory.

Anyhow, hope you like them !

Nice work Steve, I especially like how your Orion Neb turned out.

Thanks Andrew, I've been trying to capture the detail in Orion's nebulosity for some time now and was knocked out when I saw the stacking results from last night. Makes it all worthwhile ay !

:thumbsup:

It certainly makes an all-nighter worthwhile when you see the final result.

Keep up the great work.
