ok, i was super keen to do better ...
in melbourne between tonights clouds, i came up with this version of the lagoon. 2nd attempt, sw goto dob 12", DSS 16 shots stacked 10 darks, iso 6400 @ 10 seconds.
i also got an omega centauri shot, zooming in on that it looks like stars are starting to trail at 10 secs - but i haven't processed yet.
nice to get some more detail in the nebula although i think i've over cooked the red a bit.
cheers for the pointers.
