Histograms and how to stretch an image and suchlike. So I had a go with my image and hello, there's this big red thing there looking quite lovely. Have since found it to be eta carena. I never new that was there. Got me quite exited I can tell you. Think I'm getting hooked. Thanks for your help and patience.

Cool !! you're getting the hang of it. Nice when you start to 'find' things you didn't even know existed. Whets your appetite to start really hunting round.
Stick with the wide field while you suss out your options. I rolled for about 18 months before I settled on a path and that is still flexible.
Just posted a moon shot in the imaging section. Full pic at
