Thanks Andrew and John... John,2 minutes might be two short not sure,what are you shooting It with?If your got a bit of aperture and a fast f,ratio should help out and at 2 minutes you want 60 subs ! a UHC filter should help as well If you haven't got an Ha filter.
What camera are you using,what scope are you using?do you have autoguiding or do you guide manually?

Hi again mate. I'm using 2 scopes at present, a 5.5" F3.6 schmidt newt & an F4 8" newt.

I was using the modded 900nc up until a week or so ago, but now I've gone a 400D.

I can't auto guide with the EQ5 (no electronics on board apart from the dual axis drives) & I haven't been bothered manual guiding as yet.

Yeah, I'll be trying the UHC-S filter tonight to see what comes of it.

I'm having fun by keeping it simple at the moment

Cheers.

Thanks for looking Petra ! John,those scopes should do real well on It but try and get a couple of hours worth of subs and the UHC should do It .
You could also try going to about three minutes and the select the neb and save selection and the paste on the 2 minute subs but you'll just need to align It with the move tool in PS...good luck with It !
