Below is my first colour DSO using my SC1 modified TouCam. Image is approximately 10 X 20 secs images stacked in RegV2 with dark frame subtracted.

My thanks go to Chris for use of his LX90 (saved me 2-hrs trying to find it) & also tips on post processing.

I'm quite pleased with result from a £35 webcam - You can see the two central stars.

Cheers, John

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your comment - Not sure about 'lovely' though but it's a start with lots of room for improvement.

Thks, John
