I finally completed all the widefields I took from the house last new moon week-end. I used PixInsight to do them, that's why it took so long. Not a software issue, just a user issue: I can't bloody use it properly but I'm getting there and it's growing on me. I don't think it does it all but it has definitely some very interesting features and in particular does a much better job with star registration (for widefields at least) than anything else I've used, CCD Stack with the CCDIS plugin or even registar.
The milkyway is part of the timelapse I did previously so I stacked about 200 frames of the best 15s and cropped slightly to get rid of the overlaps. That's 18mm shot with the NEX-5.
All the others are QHY8 with SMC Pentax-M 100mm fully open. I have approx. 63 x 600s on omega/Centaurus A. No hint of flux nebula though or it must be swamped into the stars.
The southern cross was 20x300s, Carina region 10x300s.
I have bigger ones below (1:1)

I'm still working on the Rosette/Cone and Orion. Trying to do a HaRGB blend in PI so more reading involved. Hopefully I get it right. I don't have any shortage of Ha shots on either so I might as well use them.
