A good first image with your DSI camera Astrokat. When processing the picture try not to use contrast or brightness adjustments as you will end up clipping the data . Use a levels and curves function such as in photshop or gimp. Monitoring the histogram bring the dark point of each channel upto the left of the histogram. Then use the curves function to stretch the central range of the data.

A good set of targets to practice on would be globular and open clusters like M13, M5, M92, M35, M36, M37, M38
