hi you starting to get there now is the widefieldon the right just one 20s sub or is it a stack ? if its a single that great imagine what 30/40 stacked would look like

i was out last night and if it could go wrong it did i got back stacked about 60 -30sec subs to find that i must have knocked the eq at some point andall the rest the two pics are great and am happy you saw andro galaxy its nice aint it wait til the dark nights come its great let me no how many subs the RH pic was as if it one am sure if you stacked loads of that you would have a deep rich widefiled shot there but the one you have is great for 20secs

clear skies always

Hi Pat,

The widefield image is from a single exposure.

Last night, I took fifty 30sec exposures, so I have got a lot of raw material to work with, but I have not tried to stack them yet.

I bought myself a descent tripod, which helped immensly, much easier than being mounted on my telescope.

I've never stacked any pictures with any success so far, I need to do a bit of reading and play around.

Is Registax the only free software ?

Best regards

Neil
