Double trouble

[Camelopardalis (Dunk)]

I know it's not a great image, but I have no shame I wanted to put this out there and keen on hints and tips on my processing...

WO Zenithstar 71mm + 0.8x reducer/flattener (incorrectly spaced!) on EQ6
Canon 1100D 40x 30s ISO1600
Stacked in DSS and then the worst cropped, a stiff curve applied to bring out the features
Sydney suburbs

Please ignore the stretched stars out towards the edges, my spacing wasn't quite right as my previous posts of Eta Carina (without the spacer!) didn't have this distortion

Thanks!

That'd be triple trouble Dunk , not that Messier objects are trouble. M21 is there just under M20.

Lovely field of view, about the same as my FSQ.

Well spotted, thanks Wayne

The FOV is wider still...I've already cropped it by about 30% the stars out that far were looking pretty horrid. I won't be using that spacer again I'd swap it all for an FSQ

Don't even think about shame;it's pretty.

Thanks raymo, I just know the stars are not round and pretty heading towards the edges...this processing stuff is a language I can't translate!

Well, processing can't really make them round - you're best to sort that with the correct spacing between the rear lens of the corrector and the camera sensor.

It's still a lovely image.
