Taking long exposures is not easy or even achievable for everyone, I think just about everyone knows now (surely) that in general to get a good image, especially of medium to faint deep sky targets, one needs plenty of exposure measured in at least several hours or more. Thing is, as you say, life needs to be lived too, so you do what you can huh? As Fred Hollows sort'a said, an image is an image, no matter if with a $70K RC from Germany or a home modified OTA from BINTEL

Hi Mike,
I'm having fun doing what I can with what I've got - & made.
I add a picture here of the results of binning & stacking.
You can see how hard it is to pull NGC 300 out of the noise.
The jury is still out on binning.
cheers
Allan
