It really is amazing, to me anyway, how much detail can be recorded with just a standard camera and lens mounted on a star tracker.
The images were combined in Deep Sky Stacker, the Gamma curve manipulated in Registax and final adjustments made in Photoshop Elements 11. This included DDP processing as described here:- http://darkhorizons.emissionline.com/PSDDP.htm
