How was the total exposure time divided. Nice Image. Thanks Mickcc

it was eight 2 minute subs for Luminance and six 2 minute subs each for RGB. I got some bad color frames that had to be thrown out so it ended up a bit less for some of the colors although I don't remember which right now. If I were to do it again, I would get more color information. It was hard to tease it out to look decent.

I've since cleaned this one up a bit more and should really load up the better version. There were problems with the darks that 'bled through' as it were. Not a big deal, just had to do a bit of photoshop to clean it up.

thanks for the info, this is all new to me, but I thought your image was really good and wanted to make sure how to set up my next imaging run. Your input is much appreciated, thanks. mickcc
