That little Borg is really a nice scope. I've bben using it as a guidscope and this was the first time I imaged with it.....looks like I'll be using it more. Imaged under the almost full Moon

Borg 77ED
GM 8
ST-2000XM
Astrodon 6nm Ha
18 X 20 min Ha
Guided by FS-102 and ST-237A

6 hours of data still isnt enough I think! I really need a camera with better red sensitivity for this type of stuff.

thanks for looking, Vince

I think that you did better than you think, Vincent.
First of all, you have some real good data there.
You're right in thinking that 6 hours of images should have been enough. I did a little stretching of your image and have attached the before and after result. I'm sure that you could do better with the original master.
