This keeps happening and I could use some insight. I have successfully captured M51 data and processed nice images with this same setup.

CGEM ii
Askar 71F
ASI678MC
60s Subs
95 Gain
Default ASI Air calibration frame #s
AstroPixelProcessor, default settings

For some reason this particular data set loves to come out like a MagicEye.

I tried various star numbers for Analyse and have gone through all of the subs to weed out funky anomolous ones. My calibration frames look normal with flats having great histo.

Any thoughts?

This is my first real DSO image. I have taken a few cracks with a DSLR and have had some marginal success. This I took with a 678MC, which I prevously only used for planetary, on my new Askar 71F. Just got a Celestron CGEM ii from a really nice dude on Cloudy Nights and feel like I am now actually doing AP!
