Shot with Canon eos t100. About 5 1min exposures with 3 darks, iso 1600.  Done by putting The north star through mount without polar scope! I will be ordering polar scope soon, i think it will help lol.  Processed with Raw therapy. Hey i am very happy but i do need to fiqure out how to get rid of and where those smudges/black dot came from i just cleaned telescope lens before shot. But maybe a dust partical fell on it or i missed one.  I dont think its on cameras sensor!

What gear did you use besides a canon camera? The dust mote seems small, so should be close to the sensor.

While Raw Therapee is a very handy tool for editing single images, I wouldn't use it to process stacked images. Use DSS and The GIMP instead, or invest in a dedicated astro image processing application.

Ok Wim i will try gimp next time thx for the tip! When i do a  shot in the house with just camera i see no dust particals  on the shot so i think its coming from the scope! But well see!
