Yes they are full size, but they are compressed so it won't hurt so much.

Cygnus The Swan at 28mm ISO 3200

sagittarius The Archer. About 28mm ISO 3200 and 30 seconds. Clearly the limiting factor is night light pollution. We would have lots more detail in a really dark local.

Last
Lyra The Lyre at 100mm. Being overhead the sky was darker. If you know where to look you can even see a tiny smudge which is the Ring Nebula. Not impressive, but I was glad to be able to catch it at all.

Care to explain?

Sure, I posted this last night, and the usual inane threads were sitting up while I watched this sink. So I came up with the idea of getting people to at least look.

The best way to get someone to click on a thread is if the OP is female, it's about sex, or it's too stupid for words. I used the second approach.
 
If you can't get enough brightness from one quick shot, and you don't have an EQ mount to track.. take a bunch of shots, and stack them in photoshop.

Otherwise fork out the money for a motorized equatorial mount, then show us some real pics 🙂

If I had PS I would, but I don't. Can it be done in Elements 2.0?

Even MS paint lets you draw lines.
