very nice mick

well not much to say that's not been said already except Awesome and to think it was taken from earth WOW.

spikes apart you will hoover up more photons with the 130pds than the ed 80 so less time to get the final image and if you live in the uk then every minute counts.

yes it is a last resort to stack more frames but it allso deals with more difficult subs

easy way to use dss open dss now open the folder you have you files in then select all the light frames and drag them into dss and select light frames. now open your dark frame folder and select all the darks and drag and drop them into dss and select dark frames. and so on and son all into the same main window. ps if you want it to stack all of your light frames select the lowest score in the score list as your reference frame. hope this helps.

thank you Mick if i can do it any one can i have found that the old saying less is more, in the processing. and setting up my scope properly is a massive difference.

thank you martin

thank you simmo39

thanks DR it took some doing to get it all set up with the aplanatic coma corrector it is still a little bit out in the corners

tank you mr newbie

thank you Donal

thank you Bryan

forgot to add gear scope 10S Quattro atik 383l+m - rgb-ha-oiii-s2 filters efw2 - SW Azeq6 gt

Melotte 15 been a while on this with our lovely weather and the newish 10s quattro HA -3-HOURS AT BINN 1 HA -1.5-HOURS AT BINN 2 OIII-1.5-HOURS AT BINN 2 S2-1.5-HOURS AT BINN 2 RGB-1-HOUR EACH CHANNEL BINN 1 FOR STARS STACKED IN DEEP SKY STACKER COMBINED IN PHOTOSHOP CS5 no darks or flats thanks for looking as you can see it still needs more data but im sick of the weather so here it is

nice image but just a bit green for me though.

very nice indeed

oh gosh i hope not

started this subject with the new Quattro 10s and wondered if anyone knows what this is it only shows up on the L-R-G-B but not on the HA. the image is 7x3minute red - 7x3minute green - 7x3minute blue - 9x3minute Lumin - 7x5minute HA i hope some one can help i have checked the scope for webs and the filters. i had a few from the other night but deleted them thinking they where cloud or plane trails but not after a couple of days and its still there ??. its a quick and dirty stack so please excuse the quality. thanks for looking

thanks Sean the mount is the AZ EQ-gt its a great mount oh and my mistake is its not the 300 but the 250 i was going for the 300 but they dont have the baffle's but it is still a beast lol. 15 seconds is to keep the star bloating to a minimum but mainly it was to get the focusing and coma-corrector spacing fixed but still need to do a bit more tinkering as you will see in the corners of the double cluster.

its all bean said but lovely image and superb processing

finally getting to grips with the Aplanatic Super Coma Corrector on the quattro 300s its not very forgiving just a couple of miner adjustments and it should be done. 2 from last night NGC457 ET CLUSTER RGB 15 second subs 15 of each colour and the same for the Perseus double cluster. thanks for looking and all cc welcome

did you use flats and or darks if so then try stacking without them and see what happens some times bad flats or not enough flats can cause this and if its darks then you need a lot more. if that dosnt work when stacking use median as the stacking method. hope this helps

well done indeed Richard this is a beaut

thanks Richard ye its nice to get back at it

thank you Mt DR
