Starting to show some serious detail Les! Looking really good..

Definitely plenty of data! What mount and guiding setup are you using?

Man that is a hell of a lot of subs, and it seems to have paid off, nice work.

I use Phd for guiding with the DSI pro II and Celestron 80mm short tube
My mount is the Losmandy G11 with Gemini

Thanks Leon, I think it could do with some more Subs but sometimes you just have to look at something else for a night then go back to it

Do you mean you calibrate the frames in Registar and stack them in DSS, or the other way around ?

That's got lovely detail and colour.
It sure pays to get lots of exposure and apply lots of Darks + Flats.

Well done.

Hi RB, with this one I calibrated and stacked the iso 800 subs, and then did the iso 1600 subs in DSS,
I then took the calibrated and stacked iso 800 image, and then the iso1600 image, and used registar to align and stack the 2 images because the rotation was off from one night to the other I also have a widefield shot with M51 maybe I will add that in registar and see what I come up with

Ah thanks for that Les.
Registar does a great job for this, I use it too.
