Each colour I took 450 single pictures with 1 second exposertime, the 400 best pictures processed with "Giotto" (freeware), then contrast enhanced, moderat sharpend, saved. Same procedure for each colour, then combined to a colour-Picture. Time capturing the pictures: 1350 seconds Time working on the picture: 5 hours It is not my first deep-sky picture, but the first with this camera and also the first from my balkony. Sorry, my english is not good, so I write normaly in german. If you anderstand German, you can find a complete description of my work here: http://silvia-kowollik.de/astro/Firewirecam/deepsky.htm Regards Silvia Hi Joe,
