Thank you so much John
It's been a big learning curve and it has often been very frustrating but I think I'm getting better at it everytime I get a chance to setup.

All frames are processed with Deep Sky Stacker and then final processed in Photoshop Elements 8.0 (stretching the levels, contrast adjustment, saturation, cropping, etc.) Exposure info as follows: Lagoon Nebula- 20 X 60 seconds exposures (20 minutes total exposure time) ISO 800. Eta Carina Nebula- 30 x 60 seconds plus 21 X 120 seconds exposures (72 minutes total exposure time) ISO 400. Eagle Nebula- 20 x 3 minutes ISO 800 (10 x 3min Darks subtracted). Helix Nebula- 30 x 3 minutes ISO 800 (10 x 3min Darks subtracted). Trifid Nebula- 16X 4 minute exposures plus 31X 2 minutes exposures. ISO 400.
