Nice Stuart. Like you said colour balances needs a little look at, but overall this is nice. Stars are nicely formed.
Hi Paul,
Have a look at this one though. This shows the top right and bottom left of the sub. I had moved the camera to find a decent guide star, but when I tightened everything up I managed to tilt the camera.
Stuart the field looks better at the corners than mine for sure. The stars still have a pinkish look to them though. Guiding is superb. What settings are you using with your OAG?

Hi Paul,
I tried to yellow out the stars, but I like it like this, personal preference I suppose.
As you know I use an AOL, this was one second guiding exposures, I don't use very aggressive guiding settings, about 6 on a scale of 1 to 10, I found if I go much higher it has a tendency to overcorrect, which is probably seeing induced.
It doesn't matter how many times I see 47, it's one of the most spectacular objects in the sky.
Really nice and deep, can almost get lost in the detail.

Thanks Darren, I hope you got out on Friday night as well.

Could probably do with a reprocess though Mike!

Great job Stuart.
I've found that if I spend another half hour on setup I end up with better pics Alex. Focus is King, but sometimes it's hard to resist starting taking images when we finally get a clear night.
Thanks for all the encouragement, I really had a good night on Friday, everything seemed to work well. Now all I have to do is get some more data for the NGC1365 image I started.
