Merry Christmas All!!
Well this project started with my SN 8" and after 2 nights, I was about to throw the blinking thing into the chook shed. Flexure, internal reflections etc but I still love it for its F4 speed at 812mm and I can't work it out.

It is tempting when you have a run of magic nights to just switch and accumulate data!
Anyway, the FLT110 has come in and here is 2 nights worth.
M42 and "Running Man"
Modified 40D
9 x 10sec ISO 800
10 x 60 sec ISO800
15 x 600 sec ISO800
Flats + Darks.
Stacked in DSS
Used PS CS4 to adjust levels, curves, saturation (many thanks to Louie's tutorials!) and layer blending of the core (average outcome I think)
I am happy with this but some of the QHY10 images are whetting my appetite!!!
Would love to here any critique on processing and whether there is still too much noise etc or otherwise.
Thanks for looking,
Darrin...
