Nice Greg! I tried the same subject with exactly the same set up except for the mount (I have the AP1200).
We'll be eagerly waiting for the color version grin

Ciao

Hi Greg,

Nice beginning.

It seems quite noisy. How much time? Did you dither between exposures? If you could get 3-4 hours total with 20-30 minutes exposures - dithered between would would have a very nice, deep, smooth image. I would concentrate more time to the H-alpha before attempting the color. If you use this currently with color it will likely be very noisy.

Hope your having a nice summer. I'm freezing up here and the weather has been terrible.

Best,
Tom
