Dear Marc-Thanks for your comment. This was only a test, I'll try 5 minute subs next.

Yes, PHD is a great tool that I used for a log time and I got amazing results. It takes a bit a practice, but I'm sure you'll figure the right settings for your system.

Thanks for your comment Miquel. I'm experimenting with the settings in PHD guiding to get the best results.

Nicely done. You're definitely starting to pick up some nebula. The stars look like have a bit of trail, but still a really nice shot of one of my favorite objects.
