Hi All,
We had a great weekend at Wiruna this new moon. Clear nights from dusk 'till dawn ensured that we were all sleep deprived but nobody seemed to mind. A gusty Westerly kept us all alert.
Here's my first ever attempt at the Horsehead, 6 x 10-minute subs, captured between 3am and 4:30am. I'm surprised at the result.
There's a larger, 1MB imge here

I welcome comment from the experienced imagers here. I feel my data capture rig is improving, with still a few tweaks needed. I really need some advice on processing... how to highlight faint details while preserving star colour for example. I think a lot more is possible with the data I have here.
