Matt, thats a fantastic image for a single 30 sec sub.bit envious actually .

look forward to seeing your progress and hopefully getting a few tips off ya (I've got the same set up except my camera's a canon)

brilliant for first attempt! as people have said 100x30secs the detail would be amazing after stacking

Nice one for a first go and 30 sec exposure.

I'll lend you my copy of Making every Photon for a couple of weeks if you want and I still have a spare loading for Adobe CS2 you can have if want. Get ya started anyhow.

You will then of course need to buy the book for yourself...

[Matt Scunthorpe]

CS2 would be great thanks. I however already own the book.

If memory serves you can download Sonys RAW editor and then select the output as a tiff file, I use Sony alpha and true software is free

[astronomerchris]

Wow that is an awesome shot for your first time! Mine wasn't as good as yours!

[BarnMiguel]

Nice shot Matt, can't wait to see it when you've been able to process the raw file. Looks like you might get even more detail then!
