Had a couple of decent nights so tried these two wonderful DSOs. Both were taken using a ZWO ASI533 MC Pro on a C11" Edge HD @f/7. Captures were 120s guided subs using SharpCap and then each frame exported to be debayered, aligned and integrated, as well as post-processed, using PixInsights.

Thanks guys. I really appreciate the compliments and feel free to provide constructive criticism. I keep experimenting with a few different tweaks every night out but some work better than others. So much of this is personal preference.

Thanks much, Neil. I got the 533 when it first came out and haven't looked back. It is an upgrade in technology over the 294 (that I had but sold) as it has zero amp glow and generates much less noise vs. the 294. Its biggest drawback is that the sensor is about 40% smaller than the 294.
