absolutely super

hello members when i took a 15 sec exposure @ iso 6400 and saw what was on the camera screen...... well i nearly had to have a private moment!
in my excitement and wishing to get as many shots as possible i raised the iso to 1250 and done 12 shots at 3min and 45s
it is noisy but it is clearly visible and brighter than the parents core

Well done.
You probably don't need such high ISO, just extend the exposures.. Even unguided you should be able to keep quite a few of the images and stack them. If guiding try 5 min exposures.

Great shot Pat, it is exciting to get a shot like that, looking forward to see what you get next from stacking more shots like this one.
