Out tonight was hoping to catch Saturn and M 13 but trees and fencing along with clouds beat me!

But was able to get M 81 and my first Glob M 3 with the SCB 2000.

Not much detail in M 81 but M 3 aint bad

Is it stacked or single frames. .Davy

[Carl Reade]

Davy, did try stacking it but didnt appear to make much difference. Its a single frame with contrast and brightness adjusted. I also tried stacking the full video of M81, again didnt get much difference or pull any more detail out although I am a newbie to processing, playing with Photoshop is hard work

Tried stacking moon shot with the st102 and samsung and there was more noise on finished stack than on any one video frame...I done dslr mosaic of moon four pane unstacked and had a lot of noise on finished shot when knitted together in ice..had to Photoshop full backgroundto make it a good shot..Davy
