Cheers to the rest of you as well - I am reasonably pleased with the way its going...especially after last night

That's publication material as it is Billy.

It's going to be a show stopper by the time you've finished. You sure do grind the work out mister. Just when do you rest up.? What a dynamo you are.

[Trevor N]

Excellent shot Billy. Worth the extra effort. Trevor

[Sam]

That's looking awesome Billy, the detail in the spiral arms looks magnificent!

[Doc]

How much more to go Billy as it's looking mighty good.

[Reggie]

Fantastic colours already, well worth the effort I'd say I really can't wait to see the finished article, top notch stuff PB.

[Psychobilly]

Thanks for the comments looks like it 2 hours gets you some structure and after 4 hours your getting the colour... I Wonder what it will be like after 6 and 8 hours... think I might call it quits then

[barkis]

Billy, do you have the image for each progressive session. It would be good to see the differences as you applied them, or have you been overwriting the same data.?

Ron.,

[Psychobilly]

yeah I have a set of build up images... what i might do is show stacks of data 1 hour apart... leading up to the finished image...

But for people who worry about matching framing night to night...

Two night data for this one were 30 degrees apart and the third is about by about 5 degrees but DSS just sorts it all out...infact there is something to be said for deliberately offsetting the center of the FOV for each session as it helps mask any dust marks etc ...

heres the composite the posted image is a crop from the center...

Well worth the extra effort in 'grabbing' that extra data.

The SNR is very good indeed.

Nice going!!
