Hi all,

This was my first try at this sort of a project where I accumulate data over multiple days. I am pretty happy with the results and possibilities. I accumulated 3 hours of data over the 3 days by getting 36x300 exposures. Seeing was probably my limiting factor as CCDInspector indicated it was 2.5-3". But all in all I'm encouraged at what can be done in 3.5 mag skies.

Paul,
Looking pretty good. Looks like the data must have gone together well.
