Hi Dave,

I can give you a bit of advice on to how to simplify and speed up the drift align process with a wedge, by using the DSI live view window, this also lets the camera get up to operating temperature before you take your dark frames.

If your interested let me know and I will post the steps that I use.

As far as your image You need to try to upload it again, if you tried to post it as a BMP, the file may have been too large.

If you re-open the image with registax and save it as a Jpeg, it will reduce the data size.
I look forward to seeing your image of M-42

Dennis
