Read up a little and I think it paid off :) Found M1 after some hopping and slewing. 2x20 min exposures, 1 30 min exposure and 1 40 min exposure. 1 10 min dark frame and no flats. I should start taking flats. I think they will help. I have been using the artificial flat plugin for astroart from www.astrochris.com. I should probably keep the exposures lower too. The stars bloat up because of the long exposure. Then again that might be an artifact of poor focussing and improper collimation. The more I do this, the more I realize that everything has to be perfect. When I combined this in PS, I think I screwed up the color balance. Oh!! BTW, this is the first time I saw M1 ;)
