90 Mins @ ISO3200 on an unmodified Canon 1200D through the Lunt ED 102mm F7. Processed in DSS and CS2.

There doesn't seem to be a lot of detail for 90 minutes @ 3200 Brent, was it a
few long subs, or a lot of very short ones?

171 frames at 30 secs, otherwise the LP and the moon wipes it out.
I don't push the processing as hard as some people, I like the more natural look. I'll have another go tonight at processing ( clouds forecast ) and get some more but I am not a big fan of the 'hubble' bright renditions. Also that is just a 200k image, more on the 24 meg TIF file.

You've brought out the unilluminated dust lane heading off beyond bottom of frame at 7 o'clock very nicely.

Thanks Mike, the 24 meg TIF file shows several more @ 9 and 12 o'clock. Bit hard to see on low res jpeg.
