Floyd,

You're doing a good job of climbing this learning curve. I wish my first few images were as good as your's have been.

I hope you don't mind, I tried to fix the star elongation, but I think that I then goofed up the appearance of the nebula itself.

Regards,

Keith

Nice going Floyd!
DSO Imaging is definitely a steep curve, besides the little quirks that software/hardware throws at us very time we go out... wink

Hang in there, and keep it up! 8)
