Er, thanks DP. Actually this was my end result i.e stacked and processed (well, I am only a newbie)
But the advice on gain is sound. I have been reducing this to get better picture overall quality on the lap top while imaging but noted the loss of detail when doing so. Will increase next clear skies.
I'm interested about the cooling of my telescope. I knew this affected larger optics in dobs for example but was under the impression that the temperature had very little effect on Maks due to the heavier, thicker optics. Am i mistaken? if so I will leave it under the balcony to stabilise next opportunity.
Thanks again. even though my final image is not as good as your raw frames, I was delighted when I processed this one. What staggered me was that the detail just leapt out as soon as I played with the wavelet setting (no6 to 50 or thereabouts). Must be doing something right as the images are getting better.
