Thanks Mike - even some hints of detail in it despite it's diminutive size (68" across) & the scope's short focal length.

Thanks Dave! I decided not to suppress the stars
too much as the star field in this region is pretty impressive.

Thanks Rodney!
I thought long and hard about what focal length I wanted for a wide-field imaging scope and decided 400mm was just right (for an APSC sensor at least). Still a bit of fine-tuning to be done with this setup but it's not too far away.

Well done !!

Thanks Martin! Yep - further integration would surely help firm up some of the finer details but I'm happy with it for just over 2 hours. It's nice to be imaging at f5 (vs f6.5 of the scope it's effectively replacing). I've still got some fine-tuning to do in terms of backfocus & tilt so the setup is still a work in progress.
