This is a reprocessed image of one I posted last week.
Captured with C8, f/6.3 focal reducer, ToUcam and K3ccdtools - unguided.
One stack of 40 images at 10 seconds exposure, HDR processed with another stack of 49 images at 2.5 seconds.
MAP processed and stacked in Registax 4. HDR processing, shadows and highlights and saved for the web in in PS CS2. The image is not sharpened in any way.
Wish it was in colour!
I think less gain, more frames, longer exposure and guiding would help the noise a bit.
