Not bad at all Doug, now im just waiting to get some clear skies and no moon... :S winter time is so harsh for a astro junkie
Im looking to have a good crack at the Swan Neb M17 on the 20th of this month. that is if the newly modded 40d gets back from its open heart operation in time gastly ERORR 99.....
off topic bert, with the star colours the only stars i generaly get colours out of are the really bright ones which figures. so taking a really short exp to capture the stars will bring out this colouring? then stack in something like DSS?
