Finally getting there with this PMX :) 10 min unguided image of Eta with PEC and Protrack enabled with the FSQ at f5. Just levels to make it darker applied. Glad i got this.

Nice....

How many T Point samples in your model did you collect before turning on pro track ?

Glad to see you got PEC going as well. Still have not got PEC workign for me.

I see Pempro now supports MX so might give it a go with Pempro.

Thanks, as for t-points 105, have tried 250 with poor results. Atm i'm testing how bad my home made pier is, i keep getting different results for my polar alignment with the 105 t-point runs, so i'll have to make a more solid one.
But at least i can take pics now :)

Congrats on the good guide-free length!

One thing though ... for 10 minutes I'm surprised how little you've brought out in the Eta neb? ... the exposure as-processed looks like what I would get from my Megrez 90 @ ~F/5.5 and Canon 350D @ 800ISO in about 1-2 minutes. Did you forget to take a solar filter on the scope?:)

Any chance you can post a picture of your PEC screen from Bisque TCS ? The main one at front showing the PEC Curve and worm cycle ?

My PEC is a bit odd as well. I did a standard PEC but I am not sure it saved it properly. The retrieved curve seems odd compared to the original one I thought was saved.

See this post http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=85537 I think that's the one i'm using

Roger u got me laughing here's the pic without the Solar filter on (Processed a bit more) as i had only done 1 lvl of curves to make it a bit darker :) Maybe a moon filter would do ? LOL
