For the first time ever I had no equipment problems and everything worked! It was a great DSC, really enjoyed it. 
My first Pacman Nebula. Just a quick & dirty process, quite pleased with it. Does seem a bit noisy though.

Very nice Jim, especially lovejoy. It's nice to see the results as well as a veiw of the process. I assume you'll be giving it further attention, but very nice.

excellent Jim - you did really well - shame your kit didn't work that well in France... :-( Tons of detail in the Pacman & really like the close up on the comet... Nice one,  John

The comet looks really good with variations in the tail showing up like that. The Pacman looks a bit noisy as you say but plenty of detail.

NASA I think claimed it back.
I believe Fay was showing Jim how to download images from their website.........allegedly.  :lol:

Nice looks like you have actually got detail in head showing... Would be great if you could somehow combine the two processes as first shows tail better also looks liked background is clipped in 2nd. Any ideas what the fuzzy bit is just down at the bottom - is it some distance galaxy or something (looks too fuzzy for a star)...

Great image though & well done - John

Mike

I agree that the background is too dark. Lighten it up a bit. As we all know the sky is not black.

Great image Jim.
