Inspired by the featured shot on the iceinspace forums a few weeks back I tried this target. About a dozen 30" subs with a 18-55mm nikon kit lens piggybacked on an alt-az celestron fork mount. I completely neglected bias, darks, flats and tried to recover as much as I could through heavy post processing. I only got my nebulosity serial today and am super happy with the software, also some post-post in photoshop for logarithmic curves, levels and fixing light pollution from nearby streetlight. This was taken in my driveway.
Next time I'll be a bit more patient with the preprocessing frames and use a nicer lens, stopped down a touch.
And yeh, still totally freaked out by the "beginners" in this forum! Lots more practice required before my next post!
