This shot I think is a vast improvement over the previous version
2 x 10 min stacked Registax

processed in photoshop

Comments are more than welcome, hope you all enjoy this as much as I do, I know the stars are still not perfectly round, but I did get a guide star this time.
Paul,
now you're cooking, much better. 2x10 as well. This means that the guiding, and field derotating is up to speed. Maybe a touch of focus?? Actually just thinking, is there field curvature, with the outside in focus and the centre not quite??

Thanks guys, really am starting to get the hang of this. Its just a procedure and you need to follow the steps. This time I went from inside focus to out side focus and looked for where the focus was at its best. But might need to start doing flat fileds also.
Thanks Mark, you should have seen the originals, all washed out and looking pretty ordinary. Just all that signal in there hidden amoungst the clutter. Only the processing that makes it look good. Must be learning a few things. LOL
Thanks gents for the compliments, in just three short months I have gone from posting really crap blacked out shots with one or two stars to this. I am really happy with the progress and this inspires me to do better and better. I am hoping that one day I will produce shots that rival some of the best amateurs out there. Could be a long time coming though.
You're getting me mixed up with Hodson up north
