    First test using new Atik 460ex CCD camera. Taken from backgarden in heavy light pollution with an almost full moon. This has caused some strong gradients which I haven't really tried to remove, this is just a quick process. Image is 12 600sec exposures with flats, no darks taken.

    Nice shot, you use lightroom to merge all the images ?

    No, nebulosity 3. You need to calibrate the images 1st (darks and flats) before stacking.

    No. Deep sky stacker is another popular stacking program that is free to download. I use nebulosity (which isn't free) because I was having issues with DSS. DSS is all most people need to stack and align the images.
