Here is a wide field shot taken last night during a rare clear moment. Camera mounted on the StarTracker.

15 x 64 secs, ISO 400, f3.4.

Stacked and processed in Registax.
Resized and converted to JPG with Irfanview

I had to ditch 3 images due to some hazy cloud appearing near the end.

Stacking and processing in Registax with Dark Frame removal (10 darks).
No wavelets.
Stretched the histogram as far as I dared also in Registax.
Then a little bit of a star de-bloat in Photoshop.

Very nice soft toned image with nice subtle colour. I like it.
