Description

A very poor attempt at M16. My final stack from DSS is so NOISY. I don't know where I went wrong...

I thought longer subs would help the signal to noise ratio. Maybe I should have more than 29x120" subs?

I'm pretty bummed out about this result but posting anyhow. I shoot in a white zone and I don't have any narrow band filters. Just a Skyglow filter. My guiding went flawlessly once I started my run. But my focus is still off (bahtinov will be here tomorrow)

Any suggestions from you white zone, small refractor, dSLR guys would be much appreciated!

At least I can see The Pillars of Creation....
