I have finally set up my scope and it has been over 2 months according to the handset. I got 20 Minutes (1 sub) before the clouds rolled in. I will post two images after my efforts at processing each with identical adjustments however the second image has 10 flats. I took 7 second flats and the histogram was between 1/3 and 1/2 from the left hand side. The third photo is the master flat but I have no idea what those things are in the top right hand side.

I have no idea if they have made a difference or are any good. I still have not adjusted my camera tilt problem or attached my recently aquired flattener. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you.
Mark

Well, first, it's one great 20min sub. So well done. :thumbsup: The tree/branching pattern gives it away in your flat. That's icing creeping up from the cold finger to your sensor corner. Always ices up inwards from the edge.

Thank you Marc. That makes sense. I wish I had more subs but it looks like they may have iced up.

Great shot Mark.

So much detail for one exposure.
