Hi,

This is about 6 hours worth of data with Lum 1h 45m and RGB 1h 25m for each colour channel. I have applied darks to this but when I applied my flats the whole right hand side was blurry. I don't understand so advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

I bought a light box on this forum but obviously I am doing something wrong. I use MaximDl and the capture time was 1.8 seconds so the range of data was between approx 28000 and 32000.

My equipment shooting this is Tec 140 on AP1100 with self guiding SBIG 8300m. Any comments would be greatly appreciated as I am frustrated. I did a slight blue colour balance to give the stars the bluish colour with some slight smart sharpening at the end of processing to make all the stars more obvious. I quite like the image but advice would be greatly appreciated (again).

Images in order are M7 with darks applied and then Lum M7 with darks and flats applied and my master flat.

Thanks

Mark
