Your image is showing depth which is what I like to see in images of Globulars.

Hi Darryl,
it's very good to hear from you my friend!
Yes its been a while, I had a real bad bout with my MS that hospitalized me for over a week, I have since regained my strength, so I'm back in the saddle again!
The weather up here has been lousy, seems like every new Moon, it's always to hazy or just plain cloudy! I cant wait for fall, this brings much clearer skies but then the fight with Dew is on full bore. I just have to lug more batteries around!

I stacked 40-30 sec subs for this image with no auto guiding, just a really good drift align, I don't have PEC either, but I have learned how to minimize the effects of PEC with the settings of the DSI in the capture process.

I also developed a system for drift aligning and a go-to alignment right through the DSI live view window, this has sped up the drift align process immensely, I like being able to use the go-to, and have the objects in the filed of view of the DSI, without having to remove the camera and insert an eyepiece for centering, this makes imaging a lot more pleasurable. I probably will replace the existing image of M-13 in the Photo gallery section with the new shot I posted.

Do you know anything about the Windows Vista Basic OS?
I can't seem to get registax or photo shop 7.0 to run on it, even with all the updates installed.

Dennis
