Thanks for your input Mark. I have since discovered a problem with the ST-2000XM camera I was using which is getting sorted out. This problem had me running all over the place questioning whether I picked my targets correctly and thinking (incorrectly) that there are easy (beginners) and hard objects to image. I have also found my elusive Mandel adapter for Nikkor lenses which will allow me to use a Nikon DSLR lens on my SBIG camera when I get it back so I can do some wide field imaging. I will also sell my Astrodon 'E' series LRGB filters and buy a set of Baader filters which are better suited to the Interline sensor in the ST-2000XM. After the discovering the problem with the ST-2000XM camera I have a renewed interest and have decided to give mono CCD imaging another go.
