Looking good. I see no camera movement or tracking problems. Good work.

You are getting exceptional detail out of your 8" astrograph, considering your use of no calibration frames and low ISO.

Only critique I could offer is an adjustment of the color balance, since it seems a bit strong in the red spectrum. Also would love to see you check the store original so we could see the image in better detail.

Thank you Jim, Jim123 and Matthew. Red shift due to Doppler effect. :)

Thank you Sonny. Will hold my nose and download next post of bloated, oblong, teardrop stars and recently strange artifacts I picked up while post processing. :)

Actually, I'm glad for the redish hue.
It doesn't mess up my night vision like so many other pictures do. :shock:

;)

In the infamous words of Don Gallagher, "It is, what it is."

Speaking of...
Yesterday I found a deal on headlamps at Lowe's, Two for $12.98. Has white (Bright!), red, green, and blinking red (Bicycle helmet?). Used it last night. GREAT!
(Of course, that bright moon lit up everything as well.)
