I have got a lot to learn on DSO imaging, and a more learned person may know what is going on more exactly.

All the best for 2012.
Thanks for the feedback and suggestions. It's something I need to work on!

Good punch of reds within the Neb,

Spicy work and good that your having some deep sky time, well !

Cheers !
Thanks Bob. It's all a learning process and this is the sort of feedback I need.

Even an *un*modified 40d (with a TV Genesis) yields some red !

Here mine, 6 (raw)frames of 30 seconds @ 1600ASA each stacked with DSS:
This is part of the process I need to work out to extract the most out of the 40D

Keep at it.
No need to be sorry. I need the raw opinions otherwise one will never improve. I appreciate your honest opinion and this will help me in the future!

I was wondering when you would ever comment on one of my images. Raw and to the point Fred which I appreciate ; and you've read my mind well!
