After looking at my post yesterday, I knew I could do better.
I totally re-processed the shot, and got MUCH better results.
I also tried out a new Astrophoto tool from Prodigital software called STARSPIKES Pro. It gives you total control over the spikes, so you can make them nice and subtle. I think it really brought this image alive.
Got a start on M1 last week. Only got 6 subs, but it was enough to get a half decent image.
As soon as these !*&%$$#@^ clouds go away and the moon sets I will go grab some more time on it !

Hi Joel,
Hi Joel
Nice shot of M1. I just got my XSi a few weeks ago and now we're probably clouded over for 2 to 3 months!! I have an 8" Meade SCT and I'm dying to try this Rebel out on my scope. Keep posting your shots and I'll look at them with the utmost attention.

Cool shot Joel , this one is a bit tricky to process but you have done well with it.
Is this an unmodded camera?
