Ok, so it's been a long while since I posted my last image and I haven't managed to make use of the good imaging conditions that have been few and far between due to ill health.
I finally got to experiment using my Atik 314L mono I purchased off a fellow IISer here some seven months ago, yes it has not been used for that long and I'm totally over the moon with the results... I know that I have a long way to go before I get anything decent and my processing is hit and miss but hey it is feels so good to finally be able to produce results that are worthy of posting
Anyways... as always, any thoughts and advice is muchly appreciated

Very nice Rocky; I had a quick go at it last night, but it is very
difficult to get enough data with an uncooled, unguided DSLR.

Thanks Raymo... there's probably enough data there to produce a better quality image than what I've acheived but it's a starting point and I hope to get better at processing in time...
I started my AP journey using a DSLR and found that I couldn't put in the time needed to get decent data so I dived into CCD imaging hoping to produce better results... thanks for looking!
