I'm close to my gears limits for globs

[JBW]

The skies were clear and dark but the high thin started to drift in almost as soon as I was set-up. This shot has (in round numbers) 300 color frames, fifty dark and fifty bias. Shot with my Sony Alpha a58 / Tamron 90 mm 272E combo supported on a Slik Pro 700DX tripod with a three-way pan and tilt head.

No Eq mount. No auto tracking or guiding. Processing was done in Capture 1 Sony Pro and Gimp 2.9. Stacking in DSS.

Obviously my pp needs to be improved. I'm also thinking that I just might need a longer lens or a small telescope to get much more detail in M22. M22 is the bright glob bottom center. M25 is the star cluster top right corner

I must say Brian your stars are much rounder than what I have achieved to date

give F/3.2 and less than 3 seconds for shutter speed a try. This was shot in bursts of 20. 15 shot bursts might be better.

Nice.

getting there. Bugs, flowers and birds are easier
