Hi,

After a fantastic night at Burumbah on Sunday I thought I would have a serious crack at this galaxy. Set with my wonderful programmable remote I set off on my journey.

The first image is 19 x 10 Minute lights with 6 x 10 minute darks and 20 x flats and bias frames. Shot through W/O Flt 110 with my unmod Canon 400d ISO 800 guided with PHD, stacked in DSS and processed with photoshop CS3. Given the temperature was 20 c plus or minus one degree throughout the whole shooting I'm pretty happy with the noise level.

The second is a slight crop maybe 25%.

I have tried really hard with the processing but as always feedback would be greatly appreciated.
