Image from a REAL novice...

[Spoonsize]

This was taken with a DSI Pro in mono, on a 102f/4, a stack of 16>>21 second images and a little PS levels.

Very nice, and if this is your novice image you are well on your way!

Very nice. If I had taken that at my early stages I would be over the moon. In fact I tried M33 a while back, and got nothing as good as that. Be proud, and happy.

Adolph...There is nothing I'd like better than to be able to post more images!!!
However, with the clouds, there has been one night in the past month clear enough to image, and then it was 8° below 0° F. Too cold for these old bones!!!!

Don't feel lonely !
I live on the shore of Lake Ontario in western NY and the last clear night I remember was before Thanksgiving.
