Pics from G-Star

Hi all,

below is an image of NGC 6835 taken with a 22" EQ Newtonian. Nothing has been done to these images save having 100 stacked from an AVI of 2.56 second exposures in Registax. As you can see, much is dirty about this image - blobbed (out of focus or collimation?) stars, grainy look, no dark or flat applied. I have been trying to apply a Dark in registax but it gives unusable results - picture is either totally black or white and washed out - despite trying to strecth the image. As a result you can see the dead/hot pixels dribbling all overthe image.


What I am happy with is the ability of a single 2.56 second frame from the G-Star to throw up very faint detail on my monitor. What I am not happy with is my skill level when it comes to imaging. Imaging is what I want to do now, having been a visual observer for many decades. So, where do I start,lads and lassies?
