Hi All
Need some critique to try to improve my astrophotographic skills and processing - just recently been to a 2-night DSO trip with the ASWA group to Dryandra in WA, there were at least 40+ members present and we had a very good first night, however the last night was ruined by large dark rolling clouds and the stars were playing peek-a-boo with us the whole night thru!!
Anyhow this M42 shot is my second attempt at it - please comment
Scope: Vixen VC200L witxen F/R 6.4 and (I think a mistake to leave the Baader SkyGlow filter in from my last attempt of using it in my LP backyard - didnt realise it until I got home!) on EQ6Pro mount, unguided
Exposure: 11 x 230secs @ ISO800
Processing: DSS & CS2
Need advice if it would have been better if I had taken a range of varying exposures and then stacked the whole lot? Any suggestions would be welcome, thanks!
Bill
