Hi All, Here is an image from Sunday. NGC-5350 sits between Alkaid & Arcturus and is about a Mag 12.4. The image was shot with and Orion 80MM ED S.X. Mx-716 on and Orion Atlas EQ-G. I hope for a stack of 10, 10 min. exp. but my guiding went to pot when I was in the house so I only got 2 10min exp. So I stacked them and did a little processing in AIP4WIN and a quick run in PS-CS2.

Bob

Bob,
Nice save with the 2 frame stack. The 10 minute exposures saved the day. They helped make noise bearable with the short stack.
