You don't even have to do that. Any stars will work for alignment.

Nice!

I like that M3 shot Adam. You'll have to post a couple of good crater shots of the Moon when you have the opportunity. The moon provides some good photo's with a nice telescope

It's a combination of vignetting that I believe is from light pollution, noise from the temperature, and me stretching the signal. I have my strategy for dealing with it in the future though.
