Yet another one - with a DSLR

On Monday night under very windy conditions I got 105mins on Ngc 6188 using a modded Canon 550d on an Esprit 100. This is the result of 70 x 90secs UVIR cut and CLS CCD clip in filtered unguided subs on an HEQ5pro mount. I managed to find a sheltered spot in the backyard but the majority of the subs were wind affected. I left them in the stack as I knew this object would need all the data I had collected to help reduce noise but the trade off is slightly ovoid stars.

The first image is the UVIR cut filtered subs and the CLS CCD subs converted to greyscale then added as a luminance layer. The second is a cropped version from the full stack of UVIR cut and CLS CCD filtered subs processed in STs with some hue and colour tinkering in PS.

Nowhere near the quality of some examples posted here but happy to be able to recognise the 'Dragons' from Bortle 6 skies.
