Thank you Alan and Milton.
Those words from you sound really pleasant!
I think that sometimes the "lazyness" represent a kind of advantage.
I'm pretty lazy... i often say that i 'd like to experiment dark skies but... i love my terrace, my music, my office, the heating (my wc..LOL) etc etc.
So until now i never did astrophoto at mountains or dark skies.
Because of this, i'm pushed to scavenge all the possible photons between the pollution and the electronic noise.
Now after a couple of years attempting from the terrace i'd really like to do a session under a black sky in order to check what i'm losing: i should find a terrace (with music etc etc) on the Alps (lol).
Anyway after doing many try on M27, M57, Triplet, etc. this year I attempted new objects and NGC 6992 is the first use of the 2x2 binning.
Some days before i did my first attempt with 6960 with no binning (i uploaded it) .
I was surprised by the details of the center of M20 and M16 even if that nebula passed at 20° and 30°.
I was amazed by coupling the new DMK luminance with older and blurr /noisy EOS color images!
If someone coud be interested i can post separately the Luma and chroma in order to understand what i mean for Lowww-res chroma.
These days i attempted some jupiter too (altitude 20°) but i guess that my Baader GB filters are too dark.
Do you know the way to understand if i own the type I or type II baader RGB filters?
In addition i get only a decent RED while seems that the Blue and Green are less detailed.
I'm a real newbie to RGB planetary assembling but even in this field i'm amazed by the amount of elementary information contained into dark, blurry and noisy movies.
For a mistake a recorded a jupiter very huge (almost 670 pixels diameter) and very dark ...at 7.5 frames/sec.
I was trashing the 3 movies but i processed them and i got something unexpected.
It is not a great Jupiter (Alan rules!) but considering the big-noisy captured frames and the low elevation of jupiter the final images shows unexpected details.
For curiosity i will post the 3 jpg of a typical frame of that movie into the planetary section.

080829-Jupi-Big-Green-MAY.jpg 1024×768 pixel
080829-Jupi-Big-Red-MAY.jpg 1024×768 pixel
Now i'm trying a quick NGC 6960 with full Moon: binning 2x2 20 seconds with the C8 at real f 3.3 (previously i thought i was at 3.3 but i was at f4.2).
I'm curious..
regards
Alberto

That's a gorgeous result on the Veil with a webcam!
