Thanks Milton,
Without your great software I could not have done this! The 4X4 binning has made a world of difference with the UniBrain camera for guiding. I'm not sure how long I can go for, but I have done some 6 minute exposures, then light pollution is the factor. The Horse Head had 35 minute frames and M45 had about 50 frames.
Thanks,
Dale

Hi Dale;
Those look great to me.
Your tracking seems to be working really well too with nice tight stars.
Thanks for sharing..

They are not the best images, but I'm happy!
