Your sky backgrounds are generally very black Greg. I can't say they are clipped, but right on the edge.

Yes I have to watch that.

Thanks Rex. I was definitely happy with this one. Especially for the relatively low number of hours it took.

Greg, that 25 hour shot is seriously deep. We've not done it with the Aspen, but an older STL11000 shot with 11hrs luminance plus colour on the 20" does not show anywhere near as much of the outermost spiral arm. Well done.

Yes that arm is pretty faint. There is also some CDK17 data in that - about 5 hours. So its 4 scopes and 4 different cameras over 7 years!

I do like NGC6744!

Thank Ross. I was happy with it and how quickly the image built up. Also how well it takes processing. The signal to noise ratio seems a lot better than normal.
