This is another galaxy called the Whirlpool Galaxy shot with the same set up as the previous picture. Both pictures are the result of several (between 30 and 100) individual sub exposures stacked on top of each other and then processed in Photoshop to dial down the noise and bring out the faint galaxy details.

LTZ470, what camera settings were you using with those lunar shots? Did you set your f-stop to match the f-stop of your scope? White balance? Exposure eV steps?
And what Palermus said about the stacking. I have some great shots if the Venus transit that I would love to stack.

Are you guys using the motor drive to track your subject?
I was just browsing this ancient thread and had a question. Hopefully some of you are still out there. Are most using a motor drive?
