Hi,

This is the most difficult image to process so far!!
I was amazed to guide on the comet with the orion mini guider. It was just showing up with 2 sec exposres, there was wind blowing straight into the dome buffeting the scope, so I'm surprised the images were ok.

I had a 6 goes at stacking in DSS, eventually had to set star registraion to 2% to get all the frames to register. I also did a stack in registax5, did'nt work as well as DSS. Still used both fianl images in PS.

8" astrograph - Heq Pro 5 mount - baader coma corractor - unmodded canon 1100D - cooler box.
8 x 8 minute subs - ISO 800.
Stacked in DSS median - stars and comets - processed in PS7.

Cheers,

Justin
