Messier 3

[Ags]

Mount: AZ-GTi
Telescope: C6
Camera: ASI 178 MM
Exposures: 21 sequences of 600 x 200ms frames at gain 360 and 2x2 binning
Darks: 6 minutes * 200ms
Flats: 6 minutes * 200ms

My "workflow" was convoluted and quite possibly thoroughly misguided! Each sequence was stacked in Autostakkert, and the resulting TIFs were cropped and linear streatched in GIMP and then stacked in Deep Sky Stacker. I tried to finish it off in GIMP but wasn't getting anywhere so ran it through the trial version of StarTools. 

Next time I will try the Autostakkert derotation feature so that I can shoot a single sequence. I'd really appreciate any tips on how to get the stars away from center sharper - Autostakkert's routines seems to struggle with isolated stars in very noisy data.
