Swan and Helix from A.S.I.G.N.

Had another crack at the Swan tonight, with better results. Also did the Helix nebula.

Thanks Lydia!

Sorry all, I forgot to give you the details on the shots...

Swan was 11 subs at 3 minutes each.

Also did the Helix nebula, 12 Subs at 3 minutes.

19 Darks at same exposure times and operating temperature.
19 Offsets at 1/4000sec
No flat lights.

Imaging train: Canon 400D on Skywatcher ED80. Prime focus at F/7.5 Processed with Deep sky stacker then cropped, labeled, framed and tweaked with Photoshop. Manually tracked with Celestron Nexstar 11 GPS as Guide-scope.
