Hi Mike
Thanks for posting these. They are great. The 18-55 lens is suprisingly good. There is a little aberation, but not too bad for these widefields. Johns advice look good. I'll have to try it myself.
Anyhow, here is my attempts at processing your images. There was a fair degree of skyglow, so after conversion, stacking and digital development in IP, I passed them through ABE. That helped a lot. It was then on to Photoshop CS2 to do the levels and curves adjustments and a little colour balancing. Then back to IP for some minor star size reduction. I'm fairly pleased with the results. The crus image shows up the emu very nicely.
Cheers
