Come on man, give some details. How many subs? What were the sub exposure times? Total exposure time? What did you use to stack and process the image?
BTW - Congrats

Wait, I know I had "that talk" with my Dad many years ago, where are my notes?

Funny posts everyone, thanks for the comments. This is my boy and his name is Evan. He will likely be an astro-geek like myself. It's in the family's genes (at least among the men) to be engineering-ish equipment type people
And yes, those nights of staying up late astro-imaging are coming in handy now!!!
