Hi Fred, I'm a lousy digital imager, but am in my 63rd year of mostly film
imaging. I could see that astro imaging in this day and age could be a bit
intimidating for newbies, so several weeks ago I started picking single
frames from my stock of images of some brighter DSOs, and tried to get
the best result I could from them. I then started posting them, pointing out that passable images of some brighter DSOs can be obtained almost from the beginning, with just a tracking mount and a DSLR. I have always
felt that it's a good idea to learn the very basics before moving on to the
complexities of DSS, PS, darks, flats, etc.
I only have 5 frames of 3918, but will see what stacking brings out.
cheers raymo
