Lots of time and effort went into this. Lots of dark, flats and bias frames. This is the first image that I used a reduction group in Maxim 4. Seems to look ok. Taking a tip from Thomas Davis by trying not to clip any data.
Takahashi FSQ106 on an EM 200 Temma 2 mount
Maxim 4 for image aqusition, reduction and combining
Curve and contrast adjustment in PS CS
Ha = 6x15min
10 darks median combined
30 flats and 20 Bias all median combined
The discussion we all had about tips tricks and comments definetly apply to this image. Feel free to tell me exactly what you think.

I think it looks fantastic! I'd say that taking the time to do things right has really payed off with a beautiful image.
