Se7en Sisters - QHY8

Howdy

Took this last night, several 10m subs with the QHY8 stacked. My flats are still very far from perfect, but they are getting better, and with everything happening in the middle of the frame, this is probably the worse object image to see if my flats are ok! I am also having problems with stray light causing reflections on the colimation marker on the primary, probably off the back of the MPCC, as can be seen radiating from any bright object, the whole image is also a little clipped, and it looks kinda dark (Again, processed on a laptop screen) its also the very first time i have used Nebulosity (LOADS easier than Maxim) to stack and process etc.

So there you go, its small, amateurish, and not very good! but after a hiatus of a few months, i wanted to post something, no matter how iffy it is, that said, its a nice colour, and the composition of the image is probably its best feature.

While i am here, a HUGE thanks to all the help i have recieved from forum members wanting to help, you have all been a massive help, in public and in private, and if your reading this, then you know who you are!
