If you let me know your setup I’m happy to give you a few tips you could try

Thanks David.
I oscillate between mounts, scopes and cameras to suit time of year etc. I generally keep my EQ6 and RC8 with a SBIG STF8300M intact for NB imaging nebula and for the rest, mess about with my HEQ5 with either a 127mm f7.5 refractor at 952fl or an 80mm f6 at 600 fl refractor. I image using an older SXVR H16 CCD. I’m in an urban location so imaging in LRGB has been problematic but I’m going to try some OSC to see what is possible with my ZWO ASI 290MC. That’s what made me take a second look at SharpCap and live stacking.
