57 x 110 secs @ ISO 1600, unguided. Little obvious difference to my previous efforts with shorter subs. Pic is 200kb, but somehow has
uploaded as 37.9kb.

That's pretty sharp for 2 minute subs unguided. Tracking and PA must be very good. Did you solve your tracking problems?

[raymo]

These are a collection of subs from before I got the tracking problems.
I haven't had a useable night in many weeks, but judging by a brief
chance I got the other night, the problem looks like it might have disappeared as quickly as it arrived. Might have a proper chance to find
out in the next few days.

very nice Ray, the background looks a little black, you might be clipping data. the galaxy itself looks great

Hi Aidan, these subs were a mix of 1600 and 3200, taken in summer, so
were very noisy. My processing skills are not up to doing masks and
layers etc: so I have to darken the sky to hide the noise. Jorge sent me
a link to a video tutorial, but it was too advanced for me, couldn't get my head around it.

Thanks Daniel, images like this one are not too hard to produce, but
the very fine ones that you can find on IIS, that's another story.
