DSLR & Digital Camera Astro Imaging & Processing Finalist - Nils_Lars:
I had a lucky chance to capture all of the data for this in my backyard with this target going through the only opening in the trees a couple months ago and ive been holding onto it.
Finally sat down and processed it out sepperatly and then couldnt get my mosaic software Autopano to recognize these as a group so with advice from others I tried combining it in PS as just layers.
The top section is 14 10min subs and the bottom 21 10min subs ISO 1600 with 6nm Ha filter , stacked in DSS then adjusted in PS CS2. Canon 500D(modded) , Orion Atlas mount and the scope is a Orion ED80 refractor with .8 FR and with a 7x40mm finder as a guide scope.
