Thanks mate, more advanced than me

Keyser, I'm sorry but I'm fairly new at all this, I did look to in the abbreviations post but no luck, could you tell me what subs, FR, darks, bias and flats mean?

Keyser - that makes me feel more confident in astrophotography (thank goodness!) My kit will be similar to yours.... once I get the camera back

Quick M31 tonight.

DSLR piggy backed on Nexstar 6SE.

Nice image... I've been linked this thread as, like you, I refuse to spend the money to change my nexstar 8 mount, so seeing these are very reassuring.

Just a quick question, what ep size did you use on this pic?

Cheers

34 x 30sec subs, no darks, 20 bias (was intending to to 100 subs, but battery ran out - school boy error!)
