That's looking good Roger, really good for one sub, , Thumbs up for the Atik460EX and Baader 3nm Ha filter, but wherever you linked it from has rung round some features.

Thanks Noel and Carole.
I didnt think i was going to image at all as when i attached the Atik460EX to my Altair's Lightwave 66ED-R i dint quite have the spacer rings for the back focus so faffed around trying to cowboy it with the rings i did have and thought i was a little short and put my faith in the gods, then when i was attaching the rings on the Eagle unit for the shorter scope i dropped one of the screws on the patio, gone for good , looked for another screw and could only find one with a slightly bigger head which stopped the scope going through so had to unscrew the end of the scope to take the dew shield off so i could push the scope through then reattach the scope end.
I must say after recent problems with another setup  it was a pleasure to focus , could see a lovely Bhatinov spike in liveview bining 1 with a 2 second exposure.
Someone must be looking down on me.
