Another one from last night.

Same story.

Orion ED80 + DMK21AF04.AS + 0.5 Mogg reducer.

20 Frames @ 30 sec, stacked and processed in Registax 4 with MAP (used the estimate button - 12 or 15 points), dark frame subtracted. Wavelet 1 @ 1.6 and strong black and white point histo stretch. May look a bit dark on some monitors.

Thanks Gary. I've been a bit surprised myself. It is a fun little camera that is for sure. I'm hoping to get some tricolour ones soon, once I get the distance spacing right. With the camera and filter wheel and reducer in place I can't seem to get focus in the orion. I'll have to look into it a bit more.

Very nice indeed Paul.
Would love to see what you can achieve with tri-colour frames.

I assume this little camera would really perform when imaging "Planetary" nebulae........

Nice result, the keyhole looks great.
