Hi again

With Somnium's help I finally cracked the formula for drift aligning tonight. Very pleased. Unfortunately I don't yet have an intervalometer (arrives next week) so I was limited to 30-second exposures... so I took a lot - 54 - to see how much of a difference it makes. Turns out quite a lot!

I deliberately didn't look at others' images of this nebula - I wanted to guess at its colours. No idea if I got it right or not. If I had to guess I made it too magenta instead of red. Or it could just be way off in general. Let me know.

Any other critique is welcome too!

Cheers
Chris
