2 minute subs
20 minutes total exposure
No darks

Out to the right of the image the stars look elongated. Is this what you call coma or something else?



Cheers,

Hi Carl, I have had a quick process on your image. The unequal stars would probably be caused by your camera not sitting quite square in the focuser or the focuser sagging a little. Overall the image could use a bit more exposure but as it is you have done quite well. I would have been very happy to get an image like this when I started imaging.

Well done.
