Description

65x60 subs.

50 darks, 30 flats, 30 bias.

Stacked in DSS, PS for post processing.

Ioptron Skytracker, Canon Xti 85mm lens.

Figured out that darks reduce the weird noise patterns in most of my images, so that's a relief.

Very happy with this image. Interesting how I could bring so much more detail out with less subs, but longer duration on those subs, unlike my last M45 that was nearly the same amount of time, except 30 sec subs. C&C Welcomed!
