Hi,

Had a go at M66 last night, 8x5 min exposures, 10 5 min darks, flats and flat darks.

At 1.3 meters this is still not a big target, but the structure started to come out ok.

Hi Mike,

Its the vixen vc200l at F6.3 its approx 1.26 meters. It does need consistent guiding at under 1 arc second to use it though not the 4 arc seconds needed with the ED80.
