First image i have managed to pull out of the sky with the Losmandy G11 i have provided a comparison image from the old EQ6 it is on the right.

The image is also my first with Sequence Generator Pro and a autofocus moonlight. All other camera, scopes ect the same.

the g11 shot is 65mins of 5 min subs no flats or darks as i am now using SGP and didn't realise i would need new darks, no flats because battery was flat lol.

the old eq6 was 3 hours

Just shows you what a difference a smoother and smaller PE can make, G11 is +-3.8 arc seconds EQ6 was +-16

A nice result...
Have you made any mods to the G-11 to get +/- 3.8 arcsec??

That's great now.
Were you using an OAG for both pics - old & new?
