Hi All,
Hmm, well, I seem to have cracked the dodgy stars problem, I turned off the hot pixel clean feature in DSS and the cores of my stars stopped being splotchier than a bird poo on a freshly cleaned duco.
So, here, is a 2 hour effort of the Trifid Nebula with darks, flats & bias.
5 min exposures (coz I can now with the ED80 - hee hee) and using the CLS filter from Sludgetown Heights, NSW....
So, I am slightly chuffed with this one, now, on to the Centaurus A subs
