Hi, so I’ve been playing around with my new gear gathering a lot of data.

I took 327 x 30 second exposures before I got my guide scope and 43 x 5 min exposures after. I stacked the 30 second exposures along with about 240 bias, 45 darks and 45 flats in one group and the 5 min exposures with no calibration frames in another group.

Obviously I’ve done a lot wrong because my 20 minute image looks better than this one which is over 6 hours of data. There’s a whole heap of noise and I think dust motes? Also I think the top right quarter is light pollution?

Any ideas as to where I’ve gone wrong? Happy to post the original stacked image (before I butchered it �� ) in case anyone’s willing to take a look at for me.
