Hi Alex,

The deep red hue in this pic makes it look like the most amazing explosive fire in the sky. Great artistic touch

As for organising of data. I have quite a good organising system I believe. It's all in a main folder called Astrophotography. In this folder are seperate folders for each object in their fully processed and completed form saved as JPEGs. Each time I process a new one of any given object it goes in to its respective folder ( this is great for seeing the progress you've made over time ) each file is saved with the name of he object plus a list of 12 numbers relating to the exposure details subs,ISO,exposure length in seconds. Eg: EtaCarinea010016000025.jpg ( 100 subs, ISO 1600, 25 secs ). Looks complex but when every file is recorded the same it makes sense.
As for the raw data, that is stored in a seperate folder called preprocess. Again each object has its own folder plus the date it was collected. The data details are established by a folder inside each data store for the darks eg : dark1600x25.
The final folder is one called DSSTIF for the files saved by DSS. Again saved as object000000000000.tif

This system seems to work pretty well for me. I hope I articulated it well enough for people to understand. By all means if anyone has ideas to add or faults with the system please let me know
