As honesty goes peter in being honest in feedbacks to learn the image could do with a bit more colour and not so red a little bit sharper would make a differences or you can reprocess your image to get some more detail out
just being honest that is how you learn
Martin Perth observatory.
That's really a pretty good LRGB Eagle Peter with excellent colour, very natural looking, I don't think you will get much better from that rig, nice work
I really like it Peter. Smooth data and nice detail, lovely star colours and nice framing, overall a very pleasing result. There is something special about LRGB images that makes them nicer to look at than sometimes quite harsh narrowband images.
Loved the full res version Peter, very nicely done.
Cheers
Dennis
Thanks Dennis. After many years of tinkering I'm finally getting some results that I'm happy with.

Thanks for the feedback Martin. It can be tempting to push the sharpening however I think it is easy to over do it.

Thanks Mike. I think the next biggest thing I could do to improve my images is more practice processing. I actually get more enjoyment in tinkering with the equipment and capturing the images and find it hard to spend enough time finessing the processing. Maybe I should be looking at an AG12 to continue my tinkering journey?

Thanks Suavi. I've been quite surprised at how smooth the Lum data was this year. The conditions at Astrofest were by far the best I've experienced in many years.

He he..I got lucky...not had to do much with mine, just collimate and shoot...haven't had to adjusted my collimation in years either for that matter
Oh and there are guys on here with Planewaves, Officiana Stellare's and even Alluna's who have had do do some tinkering, to varying degrees, to get things just right... so it can happen across many brands and scope types

I think keeping it on the mount and away from the car is a big factor in maintaining the collimation. The SN10 is fine until I move it.

I have a AG12 that has never seen starlight if you feel the need to tinker, Peter I have been just too busy to try it since the replacement mirror arrived.
A well presented M16 Peter. Technically on the money. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Rodney.

Rick, If the SN10 finally breaks me I suspect I'll go for something with less moving parts like a nice refractor. I've got some half decent images for the first time this year so I'll need to come up with a good story before further investment is sanctioned.

Que?
The only "tinkering" I had to do had nothing to do with the telescope.
If you use a KAF16803, then small machining errors in either the filterwheel
or camera adapters can cause a smidge of focal plane tilt.
To suggest it's the telescope is nonsense.
Given my Alluna RC16 has been used to take the images that have won two Deep Sky CWAS/Malins in recent times,
I'm confident in categorically stating they are an excellent instrument that simply does not require any 'tinkering'.

Thanks for the feedback Peter. Encouraging as always. Oh and congratulations on the 2 awards.
