Blimey Chris just checked this on my big monitor & am gobsmacked - superb result for such short integration & all with a £150 scope... You must be chuffed with this...

Yeah but I think the £8000 camera, £2500 mount, £1200 new focuser £545 dedicated flattener and some cheap flocking helped. ;)
Oh! forget the flock, that's for the Newt. :D

yes I know you are quite correct Mr G. but at the end of the day at least its good knowing you don't have to spend £1,000's on a scope.

Correction Tony, it was £999 for the mount and the scope 7 years ago, £149 for the corrector, err £3,000 for the camera and filters.

John imagine how good it would have been if I did not have to go to work on Monday and was imaging on Sunday night which was a lot clearer than Saturday!  Yes I am please by the way, but the Rosette, Horsy and M42 are so bright they are very easy to image :-)
