Some of my DSO taken with 8" dob. synscan goto and canon 1100D. Usually is the result of stacking 80subs of 30sec. each I love that scope -

I know unfortunately that's the best that i could have done. I was going to delete everything honestly because unfortunately i didn't realize that my scope was pointing too much toward e yellowish light emitted by a post lamp -

Sub length for M31 unguided?
jarlaxle2k5 replied to ianpwilliams's topic in Getting Started With Imaging
With my dob usually i get around 80subs of 30sec. each plus 40 dark and 40 bias and the battery of my canon 1100D (fully charged of course) does the job no problem (it can lose maximum one notch). So the total use of the camera is the following: 40 minutes for the subs 20 minutes for the darks 5 minutes (roughly) for the bias I hope this helps -
Thank you everybody for the comments guys Olly thank you so much for your invaluable tip much appreciated I didn't touch the black point at all because the histogram was completely squashed on the left (i suppose it was underexposed). I had to force a bit the background contrast because the target went to low and in the direction of that side of my house there is an annoying orange street lamp that reflect on the wall of the next house, so when i was stretching the pic this orange/yellowish shade was coming out all the time. Often happen to me that the histogram is squashed on the left side

Yes and here with my second attempt and 50subs it confirm that the rotation field is not an issue: http://stargazerslounge.com/topic/226207-ngc-6888-second-attempt/
