A bit late in posting, I've only just found my password to my webspace :oops:
Well here it is my first image for what must be over a year, taken through an Orange William Optics SZ66 and Starlight x-press MX916. Bias and dark frames applied no flats.

Nice one Paul - Glad to see you are back in action... hopefully see lots more from you soon.
Have you got any exposure details....? Some of the stars look a little square - don't know if that's my eyes or compression artifacts....
Cheers, John
Welcome back Paul !!
Does the fact the ZX66 is orange make any difference ?
YES Orange makes all the difference, you should know that ;-)
I got an Orange one!!!!
ZS66 that is. :oops:

Paul,
that is a very nice image. So many stars on view.
Can you tell me how many frames, how long exposures etc etc you did?
Fay
About time Paul, I thought you had become one of those you know, talk about it and not do it, astronomers.
Nice image, I assume that was not binned?
Chris
P.S. My Wo ZS66 is white, much better than orange because wasps do not go for it.
50 x 30seconds, unbinned, image calibrated, stacked and stretched no extra processing.
