Nice Omega with tight stars too
Well done !!
I imaged this huge glob a couple of weeks ago with my 8” Carbon Newt and 2600MM as well ( 30 sec subs ) although under B8 Sydney skies.
The 2600MM is an excellent camera ( as well as the 2600MC ) and you will enjoy its incredible performance.

Thanks Greg/Martin,

I did spend some time getting the set back distance correct and managing tilt issues. For managing the tilt, I have installed a Baader M68 tilt adjuster which has worked very well. The Baader unit has the adjustment screws around the outside of the tilt adjuster meaning that you can get to the screws without having to dismantle the image train. A must for saving one's sanity when attacking what can be a very tedious task.
