This is one I put together over three nights with a TMB100/800 using an AP .75X reducer and modded Canon XS, with a clip-on
Astronomik CLS filter. 4 1/2 hours of data (16x15m and 5x10m) at ISO1600. Stacking done with Deep Sky Stacker and final
tweaking with PhotoShop CS4. The scope was mounted on an AP900GT, and guided with a QHY5 Kwik guider and PHD. The last
2 1/2 hours of data (10x15m) were taken without darks, letting the hot pixel removal setting of DSS handle hot pixels
(which it did quite well.

Thanks, Tom

Nice,nice job. I envy you. What mount did you have the scope on and what camera filter(s), settings did you use. Hell, I'm impressed!
