Looking forward to more images soon.

Re: First light ASI2600mc
Thanks for that @STEVE333
So I have given that a try and it has certainly smoothed out the noise in the surrounding dust.
The difference is subtle but clear if you look at the two side by side.
Thanks again and I hope your vaccination visit goes well.
take care.

Re: First light ASI2600mc
Thanks for that Joe, I appreciate it. I think I have managed to improve a bit since you helped me when I was blundering about just 18 Months ago!!

And much of that improvement is down to you and others on here who are willing to help folks out with learning this difficult hobby.
