High temps & DSLR Noise! - M23 Cluster

'high' resolution, if you can call it that

Here's an image from Sat night, it was balmy and around 22c outside, so comfy for imaging but not so good for my DSLR sensor! Pretty disappointed with the end result, so noisy if you zoom in close, but it's the best I could do, with 10 shots of 5 mins each. Attached is one of the flats, you can see how bleached out the image is in Melbourne at 5 mins, but a surprising amount of detail available once you stretch. Maybe I should try fewer minutes to lessen the noise?

Also attached is one of the darks I took on the night, I can't believe any image is possible with that amt of noise! yowser. A testament to Pixinsight's abilities to resurrect an image.
