Widefield and ISS
Just another step into non planetary. I would love to do some decent widefield and what a good place to start. I must admit Deep Sky even widefield is difficult compared to plantary so It is difficult to get correct colours etc. So it very much experimental.
2 images same zone first is 20 x 10 secs, the second is 20 x 15secs each with 20 darks and master offset/bias I created sometime ago.
I would really be interested in getting the noise levels down though, really hard. I could use some advise but nothing complex as I would like to learn it in small steps.
Images stack using DSS, ISO 1600, F3.5 Canon 450D unmodded and standard 18mm lens. I can see some edge problems but not so much worried about these at the moment. As it was standard tripod wasn't expecting much.
The location is my front yard prior to full moon rising in a heavily light polluted location, although is about the best day I could expect from my location and time.
Light pollution can be easily seen from the last image I shot of ISS travelling over head 7:50pm also 15sec shots
