Need to find more time to process this better but here is the draft (need to process with calibration frames).  This was with the supplied vixen dovetail.  I've since fitted rings to a Losmandy dovetail which has eliminated the slightly oval stars (obvious on the individual subs).  I need to get better detail but the drift has made that difficult to process in.

Hope you like it.

uhhh... what's not to like....! need to check it out on my large screen in work tomorrow but looks fantastic on the laptop. Was that taken from your garden? Looks like that camera/ scope is a fantastic combo. Very impressed & expertly processed.

In case you didn't guess I like it... :-)

Very nice result!

I wonder if my HighSpeed Baader filter would make any difference, though the frequency shift is not so critical at f/3?  You are welcome to borrow it if you want to perform a comparison (it's the 2" version).

Thanks John.

If it's a screw fit filter then I could try, thanks I may take you up on that.  Any idea exactly what passband it is ?
