First AP attempt = NGC3324. I'm excited !!!
For the past year I've been doing video astronomy, so all camera work has been with shorts subs (5-30sec) over short periods, and no post-processing.
Now I've sort of got guiding going so took some longer subs on the weekend (backyard in suburban Sydney). Before I get too excited could I get some comments.
This was taken on my GSO 8" F5 newt with an ASI071-MC OSC cooled camera.
Guiding PHD2 with an ASI290MM with the 200mm guidescope I just got from Pete (thanks).
Its 28x 5min subs captured with sharpcap, then stacked in DSS with flat/dark correction (I rejected 3 of them cause of low score).
Then I've fumbled around with it in StarTools.
I also took some subs before the meridian flip but they made the stacked stars have weird fuzzy shapes.
