This one was taken few weekends ago @ Golden Grove, WA.
The alignment was a bit off...

a finee example of M20 Dave. great colours there , i can't see any alignment issues. If you are referring to the top right stars, thats stacking issues with deepskystacker. Try changing some of the alignment settings within the software. Stars are very sharp and not bloated. well done

Hi Dave,
Looks great to me.
Maybe a poster shot for the pool room perhaps?
Well done.

A beauty Dave, when I see images like this it makes me more excited about setting up my 400D for imaging.

The colours look great and the stars look very fancy

Cheers

Great rendition of M20 Dave nicely composed

great picture David, I will have to pop up to the Grove and have a chat and introduce myself one day.

Lovely image of an ol'favourite.

Not sure if I can see any alignment problem though, looks ok to me...?

Hi Dave - Great image and nicely presented! You have really captured the emission and reflection nebula nicely.

I must try and get out to Golden Grove to try some astrophotography myself. There does seem to be some great images being captured out there.

I note that you have a modified 350d. Did you modify yourself, or is there someone Perth that did this for you, or did you send it away for modification?

Great shot. Lots of detail and plenty of colour in the stars. Really nice job.

Very nice Dave!
Nice colors and well processed..
I don`t know why you would need much noise reduction with 23 subs unless it was a warm night?

very nice, if the sky improves here id like to have a go at this one.

I did the mod myself, I just removed the filter and did not replace it. I use a 2" UV/IR filter mounted to MPCC instead.

Beautiful crisp shot. No alignment issues to my eye.
