well here it is, my first guided image. Meade 127mm refractor f7.5, Olympus 500 DSLR 4 x 8min exposures, dark frames in camera, stacked in Deep Sky Stacker, stretched in Maxim. Sure there is more I can do to improve it and I've no real idea what I'm doing in maxim, but really happy with it.

Well done Jim.  I know you went through a steep learning curve to get that image.  It's an excellent first attempt with a DSLR on your new scope and with having to learn to use PhD guiding as well.

Jim,

That's a pretty impressive first light considering all the new technology you were grappling with.  Well done, it looks really good.

Thanks everyone for your comments, and also to everyone for their advice and help at DSC. It's always tempting to give up when you hit a technical roadblock so the encouragement is much appreciated. Now if only I could figure out how to post a picture on the forum......

Well done Jim, pretty impressive and now you know what to do, no doubt there'll be many more images posted on here (or at least on the gallery)  ;)
