Processing: Aligned and stacked in MaxDSLR. Processed in ImageReady.
ASA hmm, showing a little vintage there I suspect .

Very good shot - I have only had a go at M49 so far and have nothing I would care to post...shooting faint fuzzies is something I aspire too, I am on the bright ones only so far. I assume this is a crop at full res?

One thing (wee actually one of the many things) I have not figured out is locating and framing the dimmer objects, how do you do that? Do you locate visually and then switch to the camera? With my setup I cannot use the FR and flip mirror at the same time and I think imaging at 1800mm is beyond me at the moment...
