Hi Set-up a DSLR standard body with a lens set at ~125mm and took a series of 30 and 60 second exposures of the Sagittarius region. Lens set to f3.2 iso 1600. approx 70 subs were made - few rejected due to sat trails.

Camera mounted on an NEQ3 unguided.

Tried to remove as much of the gradients as I can while retaining colour. Stacking and initial processing in AA5 with tweaks in PS. Hope you like.

The Flickr Astrometry Group's solving functionality is currently broken (it has been unable to solve for at least a week). You can still submit images and they will probably be solved when it is working again. Although Flickr as a whole is currently broken in my eyes and will never be "fixed".

You can also submit images to http://nova.astrometry.net/upload

Tried to annotate some of the 'patches' in the above. Many many more to find, probably got some wrong.....

Thanks Michael.

Thats cracking. Id love to have a go at something like that.

How long is the actual exposure time do you know?

Matt - Less than 60 mins total exposure time, but I was able to work at f3.2 and 1600 iso so that helped. There were about 70 individual exposures which kept noise levels down.
