Great image Wes! Good to see you posting again. My new Toucam 840 should be in tomorow, along with a TV 3x barlow. Yes... I'm coming over to the dark side smile.

Eric,

Thanks,

I don't use any dark frames, stacking over 800 frames
helps with the signal to noise ratio and several rounds
of despeckel/slightly sharpen in Photo Shop 7 helps
to get the noise down too .

Thanks,

Wes Higgins
