I think I was the first advocate of short subs when I started to use deep sky stacker, I recall posting encouragement that using 30 sec subs anyone could do it.
The amp glow was so bad with the old canon 300d you would crop about15% from the right side, dark frames were rarely used by me, processing was do a twiddle with contrast and brightness, adjust colour and give it a sharpen up all in photoshop.
I am getting excited. I have decided to take the eq6 and the 8 inch up North and hopefully give it a go without manual guiding, and see if all I did years ago help now.
But reading my deep sky posts from 10 years ago certainly brought back memories both of how primative I was (well the game was generally as most were starting out) and the old faces who sadly are no longer here.
