Hi all,

Here is a reworked M27 with my Starshoot. I actually combined data captured on two different evenings (Sept 27 and August 16) which gave me about 50 stacked frames, the data is on the image. Nebulosity did a great job of aligning all the images. I'm rather proud of this image as I think it is my best so far. Also shown is a previous image to show the difference.

There is sure a lot to learn in DSO processing!!

Paul,
Excellent image--and all that extra time really smoothed it out. Nice job!
Larry
PS: You're another person (along with Dietmar) I noticed is using PixInsight and PhotoShop. I've become a big fan of Pix and was wondering what you use PS for that you don't do in Pix?
