Iv'e just been cruising around your large image and the crisp detail and colour depth is amazing, and even the fainter stars have a nice hue to them.

Cheers,

Thanks Justin! I did push the saturation a bit in Photoshop to bring out the colour, and had a bit of trouble with colour mottling in the background again before finally getting it to look good. I think this may come about due to a low number of subs in the colour channels (7 subs is not much when trying to stretch the faint detail out) and then saturating the colour overall.

Thanks Marcus; the guided subs were all 10 minutes long. I should also mention that I used the external guidescope / STi for the guiding (instead of the inbuilt guide chip in the STL camera).

Now, got to have me some clear skies and about 30 hours with the 8" f/4

Thanks Lewis; actually the way the weather has been here lately we've been lucky to get a few hours a week. I'm hoping it will get better this summer ...
