I have been following this forum for a little over a year and hsve finally come up with an image I feel worthy of posting. Any comments and/or critique is welcome. It is a combined image of three 4 minute exposures combined in Maxim DL,processed in Photoshop Elements and finished in Neat Image. Equipment is Vixen ED80sdf piggy-backed on a Meade 10" LX200 on a permanent equatorial wedge.The camera is an unmodified Nikon D50 guided by an ST237 through the Meade reduced to f/3.3.

Nicely done Gary! 8)
Maybe next time you'll want to try for MORE exposure time... but this is certainly a VERY GOOD start! wink
