Hi.
Thought I'd see what all the fuss was about with this DSO caper
I LIKE IT !!
I'm not really setup for it ATM, the EQ5 falls flat on it's face with a F10 SCT with a toucam shoved in it, brings out the worst in it even with a .06 FR. Spent 3 hrs drift aligning the bugga & got 8 second exposures tops
This widefield stuff with the standard lens piggybacked it does ok though
This is 7 X 2 min exp. stacked; Heaps of noise & hot pixels to battle against using this webcam it seems

I took 2 darks & stacked 'em otherwise the outcome would have been a lot worse!
Question: Would faster exposure times & more stacked be the answer to killing off some noise & hot pixels? Perhaps more darks stacked into a master dark?
I'm hooked & I'll be doing a lot more of this kind of thing, hopefully improving along the way
