Hi Paul,

Not too bad, but the guiding does need some work. Are you using the OAG in the QSI?

I'm finishing this one off tonight with my setup, should be a nice comparison, same scope, different camera.

I think that you should try a different method to stretch your images as the stars have been saturated at some stage. If you're using a curves type stretch, remember what Wodaski mentions in "the Zone", straight to the end. Your curve should be nonlinear at the dark end, but then go linear towards the white end. This usually stops the stars from blowing out.

Cheers
Stuart
