M7 ...or what happens when u rush things ;-)

Hi All, earlier last night while waiting for the Triffid and Lagoon nebs to get above my (very high tree-line) thought I'd have a go at the M7 open cluster.

Rushed through the setup and focus process, ran 10x 60s exposures at 800ISO and same darks with the Canon 40D WO 0.8x reducer and IDAS-LPS filter in the YO ED80.

Thought things were looking promising on the screen during capture, but realised after that in my rushing that I didn't reset the files to RAW from when I was focussing in Images Plus ... so they were all capture as small Jpegs ...

Here they are stacked up using deep sky stacker for what it's worth. Couldn't do a lot with the jpegs without bringing out artefacts.
