This was an experiment in combining data from my Esprit 100 from March and 200PDS last week. Exposure time is approximately half for each. About 7.8 hours of exposure from three different nights in March/April 2019.

Honestly that went better than I would have expected. ?

Would you care to elaborate a little on software used and method, were there any particular problems?

Lovely image btw.

Thanks - I simply ran all the images through Batch pre processing in Pixinsight - all images together from both scopes. I had no flats for the 200pds so just used the flats for the Esprit along with appropriate darks. I was quite surprised it just all worked pretty well, no major issues at all.
