I really shouldn't post this. It is unfinished and only just acceptable.
I haven't had enough time to try, subs, flats, darks??? (so confusing, still working out exposure)
I just enjoy placing sometype of time stamped example of my progress in astrophotography.
I have had my first dslr for all of a few days. I hope to do some much much longer exposures, very soon.
This is a total of 14, 20 second frames. It also constitutes my very first stacked image.
No tracking mount, just astride must trusty Alt-Az mount. Rigged ontop, a ball mount with a pan/tilt head connected to that.
Thanks for your help, getting this far everyone!!
Edit~ is there anymore clusters visible (i know my labels are sloppy)? I have to keep going.
