Deep Sky Astrophotography
with the Nikon D70s DSLR

This is a 5-stack, full-frame shot, at 100%. Stacking was not perfect and may be improved when Registar is used. Focus was set to the lens infinity setting.

Amplifier glow is visible in the top left of the frame, which means the in-camera noise reduction isn't working completely. All stacking was done in Photoshop for this image.
