Going to have to retry this one from scratch. But since everyone is under cloudy skies, I figured I would post it anyway.

Oh my goodness!
An exploding cigar!
Glad you got some sky time Brian!

I had high hopes, but got high clouds.

At this point anybody who sez Drought to me is not going to get mud thrown at them...
I think I'll drown them in a puddle!

Going to drag in the mount. The Pineapple Express is coming through. (For our friends who may not know what the term means)

Hey! More time to work on my hardware!

this version was using the drizzle function in Nebulosity...still need to go back to square one and restack. I also used a function to match histograms, I think it may play with the color.

Looks like you are doing pretty good! I like. That mid section of m82 is a real tough capture with small telescopes, and you are getting it.

Beautiful results Brian!
And such tiny stars, too.

But then, that combination has proven to take some amazing images.

Make some things better, some worse. Oh well, not doing anything better anyway.

Thanks Sunny, I've been working on stars, I think it's improved. I thInk I need to do separate layers for the stars and one for the DSO, then layer them in.
