Looking Good Brian,

Boy that Alnitak is bright!I think I can actually see a diffraction pattern from the lens around it.
Probably be worth it to take some shorter exposure too and blend them in around it.

Great start!

Beautiful Dietmar.

Super job on the processing,very clean background and the details in the crop are marvelous.I'm not so sure you really need more time on this!

racetrack? read noise?

Hi Charles,

I have seen this on short exposures on a couple of occasions with my ST10 too.Can't tell you what is causing it though.

I try to go at least a couple minute with mine,it's happier then.

Jeff,

Looking good!
Those are some good deep subs you shot there.I have never shot this one in RGB but with 20 minute subs I would have thought you would have picked up a bit more of the fainter nebulosity.Maybe this only shows up well in Ha?

Great job though it looks good smile

Nice Charles!
This came out well in my opinion.
Hard for me to say whether that is curvature,coma or a scale difference.Before your trial runs out you might want to try to use the FFT option in CCDStack with the shift rotate and scale option checked and see how it comes out.That may give you some insight to what it is.
