Taken over a couple of hazy nights LRGB 120:42:30:74 total exposure 4.4h. Probably a bit more work to do on this but I'm bored now!

Probably obvious but how do I add the full sized image to a post instead of an attachment?

Nicely done.

To add the full size image it needs to be hosted somewhere then the link posted inside of some img tags ''

superb detail...you have to be pleased with that....

That's a nice image Rob - I'd be delighted to produce one like that!!

Lovely pic Rob.. sigh..I sometimes wonder if I should buy the kit for LRGB imaging, looks like its so much more rewarding than plain ole DSLR imaging sometimes!

[Rob_Jn]

Thanks a lot guys!

Cheers Digz I knew it would be something simple

Rewarding but from light polluted Liverpool very challenging

How on Earth did you get that from Liverpool, I just posted the following:

Even if I shot all night long, with light pollution that bad, I'd never get anything more!

Depends just how bad, mag 4 is a good night for me.

It's counterintuitive though, you need more total exposure under LP skies. The signal adds linearly but the 'noise' (LP) only adds as the square root. You have to keep subs shorter of course. I wish I had dark skies though
