Thought I'd try a different sort of object tonight. It was probably just as well, as clouds began to move in while I was imaging a 2nd object. I learned that you do not need near as much exposure time to photograph a globular cluster. I can see little difference between 1 and 6 frames. I did stack 6 frames and I'll place this image here. Globular clusters look like they would be a very easy beginner's target, as this one came out real nice, and was not at all difficult to photograph.
This is the 6 frame stack. The frames were 120 seconds, and the final image enhanced some in photoshop and cropped to enlarge the cluster somewhat.
Here is a single frame....
The single frame shows the core better, whereas the stacked image shows the outer stars better. Perhaps this would be a good image to do multiple layers?
