Ken,
Thanks
Yea I'm a bit scared to approach the collimation lol but there's a few good guides on the net so might give it a go this weekend. Yup I'm already looking into the moonlites, just waiting for 22T4 to sell so I can use the money for a moonlite.
Carlos,
Hehe yes NGC253 is my personal favourite too. Seeing makes such a huge difference, considering that image is a 1x1 bin and cropped! And congrats on your decision to get a lodestar, it truly is amazing. I was considering a QHY5L-II/ASI120MM or the likes but I've used a lodestar before (on loan) and knew it worked, so decided it was worth the investment. So glad I did, you will be too!
