How long were the exposures you used for this image?
Hi,

I wasn't using a guider, so exposure time was limited. The image was made up from 5 x 40 second exposures at 800ASA. Longer exposures resulted in visible star trails. Subs were stacked using Deep Sky Stacker at default settings. The levels were then stretched as much as I dared using Phtoshop.
I owe a lot to the members of this forum. The images and advice posted on this site are both challenging and encouraging.

Cheers,

Rob
