I had a slight tracking problem, which means I will be doing this one again, however, I am still very happy with the image data. It was good practice.

7 x 4 Minute exposures, stacked on Deep Sky Stacker with offsets and darks removed. Cropped and resized.

Manual guided Canon400D on Skywatcher Pro series ED80.

Hi Baz,

Yeah the image data is all you need to worry about, tracking errors are easy to solve. Is your DSLR modified?

Lots of detail there especially with an unmodded camera..now just a question of fixing the tracking as Ray says

Hi Baz,

If this was a "practice" then I'm looking forward to your real images. :welldone:

Hope you get your tracking problem sloved soon, is a good effort for manual guiding though.

Cheers Colin
