Thanks H and Luigi.
Sorry for the late reply - away up North for work. Inky skies in the tropics, different altogether.
The frames are a reworked set taken earlier this month - 10 x 3 mins and 2 x 5 mins. Not nearly enough (time constraints).
Hardware = ED80, Canon Kiss F (1000D), iso 400, no guiding (have plans to implement in the future). Preprocessing and post processing with Pixinsight.
Agreed, the black point is clipped, the stars are desaturated and the nebula are over saturated. I know how this happened, but it's a little difficult to explain - many steps involved - overcooked.
Christine - H is right. The mount is the most important piece of equipment - then go from there. That is the best advice for AP. Depends on budget of course, but quality second hand is a good way to go - IMHO.
Rowland.
