Hi Guys I thought I would post some images that I took about a month ago that I just got around to processing. The first is ngc3576 and the second m83. All the colour data was aquired during a full moon, I figured how bad could it be? Ha was I in for it. Gradient city, getting anything out of the colour was a huge effort so now I think I will stick to HA during the moon.

Hope you all like them.

Pete...Not bad...

but... things to work on would be focus (ie tight star images), tracking/guiding accuracy (ie nice round stars) and colour balance (a neutral black or slightly navy sky).

Plus ...I don't see Eta Carina.

You really need to stick with the program. :)

Thanks Pete, Im still playing with my guiding settings to get it to work well. I think the wind has alot to do with it as as soon as a gust comes I get massive spikes.

Oh and I must have left this one out.
