Darren, Excellent first light. You have a very good luminance to work with. I look forward to the color version.

(there have been a couple of test shots before, but nothing serious) This one is just 6 hours of Luminance (and appropriate bias,dark and flat frames) , and am going to be working on getting some RGB and some Ha added into it. I've only processed this in CCD stack, as I'm still getting used to the basic concepts, and want to get those down before I move into the deeper end of the pool with PixInsight and Photoshop. http://www.flickr.com/photos/96196535@N06/10050083245/ Comments and suggestions are appreciated.
