Hi
Upon seeing stars for the first time in quite a while, despite a more than first quarter moon, I had a go at NGC2579
http://www.users.on.net/~josiah/temp/2579.jpg
a small obscure nebula in Puppis.
Its a 5 minute ISO 400 and 10 minute ISO 200 shot stacked.

Trust you to get the failt fuzzy in the camera lens. Well Done Scott.

Very obscure Scott.. is your guiding/tracking a bit off? The stars seem a bit more elongated than your previous shots.. or is it because it's a full crop?

The guide star wasnt really bright enough to accurately guide with, and yep its a crop from a bigger image, it works out at nearly full resoloution.
