Hi all,

here is my attempt at the Sombrero galaxy last night with 15 x 5 minute exposures, iso 800, f6.3.

Still not happy with the colour, but the best I could come up with from today.

Very cool shot Lester. :thumbsup: There's a nice little plugin for PS that can fix drift in stars. It helps in rounding them again (see attached). I use it on occasions. It's not a fit for all solution but it helps. You can do it better of course by using a mask with it but you get the idea anyway.

Hi Duncan, Carl and Marc, I appreciate your comments. I need to tweek the tracking in PHD to improve the result.

Thanks for the tip Marc.

All the best.
