Hi Alex,
Thank you so much for the kind words. I've been super impressed with your images since I was last around this forum. You've improved immensely over the years, well done to you too

After a 4 year layoff, you may have had to 'start again'.
As you know, the technicalities are at times overbearing.

Next time, spend your first few subs in framing (in your case, up a bit) and then focusing.
Maybe even rotate the scope if you have to (this requires you take new flats & darks).

And of course, more data!
Keep a reliable backup and then add to it over the years.
10 hours on 6188 would work with your scope.

Achieving star colour is not easy, gain and sub length play a role.
Try different settings and see what works for you.


Great effort
Hi Peter, Thank you so much for the tips. For a night that was supposed to be me just learning the gear, I was stoked to even get 1 hour and 20 mins worth of data.
I tried to get my framing directly out of Telescopius and had it uploaded into the ASIair plus, and it was just very slightly off where I wanted it (perhaps I had my settings slightly wrong on telescopius) but was just too impressed with the OSC camera that I kept going Going from a 1600mm pro years ago to a 533mc pro makes it so much easier for me. No messing about with multiple filters (though i'd suspect i'll go mono again in the near future )

I had planned on at least 3 hours last night and another 3 hours tonight, but plans have changed so I will have to add to it over time. I'll post again on this area once I have more data.

Thanks again
