Folks,
This is no masterpiece like the truly outstanding renditions of this region we've seen recently, but it's my first effort at this
Hope you can forgive the lack of star control, I tinkered with this for a few hours and couldn't get a star mask right that didn't give me panda eyes
This is a stack and stretch of 5 hours of 10 minute subs taken at AstroFest this year, with my modded Canon 1100D hanging off the end of my Esprit 100. I've attached both the full frame view and a crop around the centre of field.
Ignoring the unsatisfactory star bloat (suggestions welcomed!) and horrid jpeg compression, is this about all I should expect out of my setup or is there anything more in there fighting to get out, given the skills and/or better conditions?
Cheers,
Dunk
