Finally...

Finally got my imaging setup working. 2x2.2m roll of roof DogHouse completed telescope pier mounted, a touch more drift alignment needed, knife edge focuser working, may have to move the mirror up the tube a bit to allow focus for filters but otherwise all is working.

Thanks to Barbara and David for their help in getting me started with Photoshop, got a lot to learn

So here are my first attempts...

10" F6 (1530mm) EQ6, no filters or field flatterners, Canon 400D (unmodded) PHD guiding.

All images stacked as RAW
in DSS

CenA 8X5min ISO800 darks Autolevel in CS2

Lagoon 10x5min ISO800 darks AutoLevels in CS2, Havent got around to fiddling with it as yet

Eagle 10x7min ISO800 darks, Levels and Curves in CS2

Triffid 6x10min ISO800 darks, Levels and Curves in CS2

Thanks to Jase and Andrew for some advice on File format re stacking.
