My best effort yet

This has been a mammoth effort for me to get to here. Everything came together tonight though. I spent some time on my G11 today adjusting the worms, and it really paid off with my guiding - still some way to go though to get the hang of using the Tak as a guider. The shorter focal length make sit a bit more finicky to get nice round stars.

Anyway - here is my best astrophotography effort so far.

Light frames: 15 x 4 min subs at 400 iso
Dark Frames: 15 x 4 min
No flats (I need a light box...) - but it desperately needs them.
Canon 550D
200mm f5 newt on G11
guided with FS-60CB / QHY5 / PHD

stacked in DSS, curves and levels in Photoshop CS5. I don't know what the band across the bottom is though...anyone got any ideas?

Cheers
Adam
