M101 The Pinwheel Galaxy

Nice! 

I took my first image last weekend, same object.  

Yours looks much, much better. I have "some" learning to do. Before I get to that level.. Im going to do new flats ect. To see if I can get a better result from my lights. 

Nice! Quick question: why the 15 second interval between subs?

@Rocket Stars Thanks for the kind comments! I think good flats make a big difference. My image is suffering because there is a street light making the right side of the image slightly brighter. 

@BrendanC When I used a short interval (1-5 second) I found that there was residual charge left in the pixels from the previous exposure which causes weird effects in the next image. 15 seconds allows any charge to dissipate before the next image is taken. I use the interval for my Darks, Flats and Bias frames as well. I wrote a post about the issue a while back.

Very interesting, thanks. I use a 3-second interval but only to avoid mirror-shock (I use a DSLR too). 

Im fighting streetlamp too!

Intresting about intervals, Have to check if there is a setting in Sharpcap for that! 

Steep lerningcurve, as everybody else says.
