I'm impressed by that last shot - we can obviously get something to work with, which is a start I guess. Beats not being able to see the milky way!
Thanks Bonox. Yes you can get something but i mean... 300 seconds and I cant even see the running man nebula. Stacking sometimes helps so you should try that as well. Anyway i am waiting for my autoguiding cable to arrive then i may be able to go longer. When i have sorted that out and the new filters i mentioned i will post some more photos.

Here is the previous image after 2 minutes work in photoshop, levels only.

I have a C11, but the sky is so bright here i dont even bother looking through it in Sydney, so to keep the astronomy habit i spend my time imaging through the ed80.
