Hi,

skies were very clear the last few days, but i`m still struggling to line my scope mirrors, so i decided to go with the 135mm lens.

this is my last image taken through three different days, it's a mix of 120 seconds and 300s subs taken at iso 800, total integration time of about 2 hours and 40 minutes.

I'll try to get more imaging time so i can improve it a bit, so far i'm happy with it.

thanks for watching.

Fantastic!! I really love that area of the sky! Shame it is hard to see here in the UK...

Thanjs, Piero. 

Yes, it's a nice area, i have looked some images of it on the web before imaging it. There is a long way to go to match them.

i just bought a startools license and gave it a go, it looks much better:

I can see more detail in the second one, but prefer the colour of the first one. It seems more "natural".

Yes, this was my first try with startools, i gotta watch and read some tutorials to get better at it. 

Thanks for your comment.
