Here's some old data I reworked during the last three months of cloudy days...My usual stretch of short DSI II pro exposures... I'm really having a lot of fun with this web-cam on steriods :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Comments and advice always welcomed...

Good stuff Peter, there is some nice nebulosity on show there. If you get a chance some longer exposures will bring them out for sure.

Cheers

Thanks for the comments. I need to brush up on how to use the long exposure function in Envisage. To date I've only played with the normal exposure settings and they have a maximum of 15 second exposure.

Good polar alignment obviously becomes more important with the longer exposures - something I've managed to avoid with the 5-10 second shots I've been doing.
