Thanks Pete.

I have started imaging and gotten data for 4 objects so far. I would like more data and replace some RGB that was not ideal on some.

First thing next clear night is a larger T Point model and more accurate Polar Alignment just to tighten up the guiding a bit more.

I am enjoying it.

I as looking at the stars a few times and they are not that different to what I see at my dark site apart from the unlimited field of view I have at my dark site.
My dark site shows stars as fiery pinpoints. I am not sure how much more that enables an image from a few steps away from that. Imaging at home is a lot more convenient.

I suspect darkness is important up to a point then it becomes diminishing returns and your processing becomes the key thing.

Greg.
