M10 - Meade LS 8 ACF and DSI II imager

M10 - Globular Cluster in Ophiuchus
Meade LS 8 ACF @ f6.3
Meade DSI II
7 x 11.3 sec exposures
Envisage, DSS, PhotoShop for curves and levels, then contrast and shadow adjustments in Picasa
I was rather pleasantly surprised on how this image turned out. I am having some difficulty using DeepSky Stacker (DSS), it has a hard time stacking my FITS images for some reason. I have had to use Envisage to not only acquire, but then to view the FITS images as well to try and determine which ones could be problematic, then deselect those in DSS to finally get a good stack. I'm pleased with this so far, and very happy with how my focus is turning out while using the Bahtinov Mask.
