Pleiades from Barambah

Hi all,

Had a great time at Barambah on Sunday night. I decided to concentrate on 2 targets only - NGC 300 and Pleiades.

Got the wierdest results for NGC 300, star trails in one corner but fine at the opposite corner, as if there had been a field rotation yet the scope was guiding perfectly. Found that the camera was slipping in the and of the scope - doh.

I have attached my effort for the Pleiades, fairly happy but there is a bit of noise, I may have gone a bit long in the exposures for the stars.

10 x 8 min subs plus darks, bias and flats using a SW ED80 on a HEQ5 Pro, Canon 1000D, PHD guided, DeepSkyStacker and PhotShop CS3.

Is there any way to reprocess the nebulosity without the starlight?

Advice appreciated.

Adam
