Impressed with the Hotech David. That has convinced me to go down that road also. Your M83 is very crisp and clear with good colour definition and most of all ROUND STARS!!!!!!

Damb it Dave, thats very smick (tracking, focus..........everything)  . On zooming, its as tight as, your getting the kind of detail there reserved for proper cams  .
The colour balance in the Sid is spot on too.

Come up pretty well David. More focal length required for these small galaxies but you have done a nice job on this one.
Well Done.

Missed this one. What a ballsy effort to get out and go for it in the full moon from the 'burbs David, and you and PI have pulled the processing off very nicely!
I like the 2nd repro best for "natural" colour and detail (colour pretty always comes down to taste anyway).
Great for newcomers to be able to see just how far you can go with raw data collected from a city site too by posting the stacked master.
