a wee bit of testing - helix on diet photons

yes thats right the helix is on a diet. i starved it of some photons, not by design either.
i used for the first time the wo 132FLT with a field flattener and reducer with the canon EOS RA. i soon realised that the flattener and the camera didn't work out, the coma was horrendous . cropped image supplied but i did get great focus

the second image was from the rasa 8 and asi 294mcpro. the rasa is a brilliant scope but in bortle 7 skies. without other filters and such i think its all i can get in 4 hours at F2
