A couple of evenings with NGC6992-5

The sky cleared at last so I brushed the cobwebs from the obsy door and set about trying to remember how to get it all setup.

Imaged over two nights, after chucking a few subs works out at 2.5 hours at ISO1600 @ 300sec with my modded 1100d and SW250P.

I think I was pushing it though as all the subs were well blue but it was great just to get out there again.

All comments welcome.

Ok, I wasn't quite happy with the processing so here's another go.

really nice
managed to get some shots of this the other night but only 30s subs so no nebula for me

Thanks oldpink, Try for longer subs even if you get a bit of star elongation it can be processed.  I'm still learning to process with StarTools sometimes it does strange things to the image which is down to user error. I had another play with it today with the second image. I'm now gathering more data with yet another clear sky, wa-hoo.
