One good night of extra data added! (M 78 ) (another redo and the last i promise!)

[simmo39]

Well an extra hour and half of data added anyway. Last night was the best night for ages and although  couldnt play out for long I got an extra bit of data to add. Still need to add more but I feel im getting there.  Total data is now  3 hours or so but most of that taken in poor conditions and if I can get more ill dump the poorer stuff.

Hints and tips welcome.

Very nice. Just keep adding to it.

Yes, keep adding!

This is widely recognized as a very difficult one, particularly at our latitudes, so a great boost for your self esteem is waiting if you pull it off! What camera are you using? If it is a DSLR (as suggested by the blue-red-green blotch noise) you may get some tips from this video (but you may of course have seen it):

That's coming along nicely, just keep adding the data

Great result so far. Consider using the poorer data for rgb colour info, but only the good frames for luminance. That way you lose less precious imaging time.

Well after playing with the data and taking the above advice, I have got what i think is the best im going to get with the data i have. Im pleased with this one.
