Thanks for the input happy-kat.
I found the Imaging challenge - I think I'll submit this latest image.

I had another go tonight. The previous pictures were from processing 9 shots that I just took ad-hoc as famialiarisation with my set up. I wasn't intending to image the Moon.
Tonight I tried in earnest and shot approx 250 frames at 1/500 sec. Stacked the best 20% in Autostakkert,. Wavelets in Registax (I tried to be less aggressive but it's soooo hard to dial down).
Further processing in Gimp and Aurora HDR.
I am happy with the result, but if there are any tips and tricks or advice that anyone can give I will be happy to hear.
My equipment:
Scope: - Celestron SLT 102
Mount - Skywatcher AZ GTi with Skywatcher wedge.
Camera - Sony Alpha SLT A65

Thanks for the response.
No, I have not seen imaging challenge #1 . What is it / where can I find it?

New to this and this is my first post (please be gentle with me 🙂 ). Any help and advice is welcome.
I captured some shots on 22/02/21 and then the fun began. I have been experimenting with processing the results and have come up with the various final versions below. I am pleased and surprised with the outcome for a first attempt.
Please can you advise which you feel is the best of the three - are they "over the top" on the processing.
Also I am red-green colour blind and would appreciate if you could advise on if there is strangeness in the colour that needs correction.

There is in fact a method to switch between the connection types by using the nmcli command . I have done this successfully and created scripts on the desktop to execute the switch.
The example below switches to connection named as: Astroberry HotSpot. Create another with the connection name of your home network connection.
!# /bin/bash
nmcli -p con up "Astroberry HotSpot" ifname wlan0

Let's see your 1st DSOs
in Imaging - Deep Sky
Posted
This is my first attempt at DSO and I was frankly amazed at the final result considering my budget and far from optimal set up, location and my lack of any experience. I was using the session just to test and familiarise myself with the setup and acquisition using Astroberry with KStars/Ekos and expected to achieve nothing like the final result.
Location : My back garden ( Bortle 8 )
Date: 03 Mar 2021.
Scope: Celestron SLT 102. Camera: Unmodified Canon 450D. Mount: Skywatcher Az-Gti.
30x 30secs subs ISO 800, 12 darks, 40 bias. 0 Flats (must get some method of doing these).
Stacked and processed in Affinity Photo, Topaz AI Denoise.
I think I may have caught the bug and entered the money pit of DSO imaging!
