Thanks for the comments Gents.

I've posted in your thread Michael - great start with the 350D.

I managed to find time to stack the subs and fiddle a bit more in PS. Bring on the Astro-Imaging Conference so I can learn a bit more about processing.

Paul - I've attached a slightly larger scaled image 1024x768. Will get around to uploading something larger to somewhere else in due course. I should have the adapter for my focal reducer this week, so will be able to enlarge the field of view as well.

Also, here is my effort of the Horsehead & Flame nebulae. Only 5 subs of 10mins. Very noisy given the stretching required by a much dimmer object. I'll try for longer subs (thank goodness for accurate off-axis guiding) in due course (but that might have to wait until next Orion season).

Cheers
DT
