Hi,

Well this looks like the only image I'm going to get for a while with the weather closing in. It was a struggle to get this with cloud moving in, hence the fuzzy stars.

Decided to try out ISO 400 for a change, but only managed 30 minutes of data.

Telescope 8" f/4 astrograph on a HEQ Pro 5 mount, orion mini guider.
Unmodded Canon 1100D , piggy backed 35mm lens at f/4.5.
6 x 300 sec subs ISO 400.
7 dark frames, 7 flat frames and 7 bias.
Stacked in DSS and post process in Phototshop.
Cheers,

Justin.
