took my time on this and its the first time i have used a star mask. the stars a re little blown out still not sure how to control that but i think the colour isnt too bad.

Nice result Daniel for no guiding subs.

The stars are not that bloated for me.

There seems to be lots of detail in the core of the nebula. Looks good

I'm looking forward to seeing what you do when you have guiding! That's a great image!

[Mr Bergman]

Nice image!

[Welrod50]

That's a solid effort Dan without guiding, and yeah, stars look fine to me too. Nice one

[Daniel-K]

thanks all. should have said 40 darks but no flats were also added. i couldn't stretch it any further as there wasn't enough signal and alot of detail was lost in the noise.

[andyo]

That's a very nice capture with good detail in the core

90 second unguided subs - excellent result on this Daniel and stars look very nicely processed and have great colour. Couldn't see this in your gallery, but would love to see this at full/native res if you're publishing.

Very nice Dan

Nice image Dan. My hat is always off to unguided imagers

[Naemeth]

Nice image . Perhaps the stars look a little bloated, but I can only notice it when I zoom in a lot.

Nice one Danny.

Going to start playing with star masks myself and this shot shows their benefit.

heres the widefield version im very happy with the way this has come out had to crop a tiny bit off the edges from stacking but pretty much 90% FOV

nice one mate, very natural and not clipped at all. it's all to easy to try and make the sky black but you've avoided this completely. gold star
