This would be my second astrophoto, and the first one taken in a relatively dark site. It's not super but I was pleased of the results considering I really didn't get much light: 300mm lens, f/8, iso 400, 56 min integration time. Stacked with DSS, edited with Startools (90%). I just couldn't get the stars to reduce properly so I went over to Darktable and did a lowpas - overlay to adjust contrast. This is from the same data that I posted to Ivo on the "Image processing trouble" area.

Thanks! The data wasn't great. So many cloudy days means more study of startools and less of hardware setup. Hopefully the two will match soonj!
