    Stacked twenty images of 240 seconds (unguided) each in L channel.
    Captured and processed with Maxim DL 6.27

    Camera: STC-7
    Scope: TMB 152 f/7.9
    Mount: AP 900

    Conditions were sub-average with seeing and transparency lacking.

    Looks pretty good despite the conditions.

    Thank Colin...

    Here is a similar image taken over many nights, using only the crème de la crème of the images. It's convenient that Maxim DL can grade images based on FHWM and/or roundness. With 300 second exposures with warm nights (some nights had temps at 30C at the start).

    Camera: STC-7
    Scope: TMB 152 f/7.9
    Mount: AP 900

    Mainly processed in Maxim with some final production work in Photoshop.
