For this example I selected M27 it's bright and large enough to be easily located.

It's now time to enter some parameters on the software like the exposure time to 30. For an accurate stacking it's necessary to choose a bright star in the field of view. To do so I used the tracking box and centred the star in the centroid. When everything was ready to take pictures I clicked on start, and the imager at that time could take pictures according to my setting. After a few minutes the picture displayed on the computer was quite good and I decided to manually stop the acquisition.

With My little experience I am now able to take pictures even if I have many other things to learn, this is the reason why I ask you to come back regularly so as to see better result (I hope so!)
