Thanks everyone for your comments, very helpful and makes a lot of sense.
I am unsure how far to go with stretching and when to call it quits, unless it’s obviously too bright or too dark.
Especially in DSS with that small window to look at, may have to give Nebulosity a go.
That was awesome Geoff what you did with that low res jpg, imagine what you could do with the TIF file.
I’ll give 10sec subs a go JJJ, and see what comes up, DSS will have a field day registering and stacking 300+ subs.
As far as the bright star reflection from the CCD to the front glass goes, it’s not good news, the only fixes are:-
1) reduce exposure time
2) don’t overstretch
3) replace camera front glass with a better anti-reflective coating
4) edit in software ( clone tool in Photoshop)
Cheers
Bill
