3x5 Minutes 30 flats
A pity i couldn't get more because a stupid light pole was in the way :(
The last pic in the stack had a small bit of the lines in it so you will see a couple of black smudges at the top right hand side.

Nice work!!!
I forgot to look at Andromeda while I was at Snake Valley.
Nice to meet you ! Your cam was a ripper.

That's got a lot of detail for only 15 minutes. Far less noise and more detail than I've seen from other attempts using DSLRs on this object.

Thank you Dave and nice to meet you too (dont do the cam mod at home :P ).
Ps: I hope your wife is well soon.





Thank you Dave with almost no stacking it all depends on processing.
I was lucky i got this out of it, because i am fairly crappy at processing :(

Well, not a bad job at all. I had a crack at a repro (hope you don't mind) - tried to remove the gradient on the left hand side using Noel's astro actions. I then did a curves adjustment. That's it.

You're welcome - you did all the hard work, I just hacked the image (hack being a term for played with, not the bad stuff that Hollywood usually harps on about lol).

Nicely Done Martin. Maybe next time we don't need a broom, just an axe?

Come out great Martin, The poles and wire pose a problem when working on the north horizon. I guess you are as chuffed as me at capturing this one. Just yours is upside down. Were you in China?

Thank you Doug.
Those bloody wires and poles should be burned down.
Ahh yes i am just ecstatic that i nailed this one :)
Didn't think i had a hope in hell i would get this out of 15minutes of exposure time.

China?? lol looks like it :P
