Hi all,
I haven't posted in a while, but I managed to get out this last new moon. I got some data to process - it's good to be exposing and processing again. This image is an example of what to do when the CSC shows seeing as a solid series of grey blocks (1/5 bad) - you go wide field. The subject is the Leo Triplett.
A full size image and exposure / processing details can be seen here:
