Welcome Geert and what a fantastic result :thumbsup:

Self made OAG....interesting. Maybe you could provide some more detail for us IIS's whom have a keen interest in the technical gear DS imagers use. Maybe show images of your setup in the Show Us Your Equipment thread in the Equipment Discussion section

That looks great, guiding seems spot on and the details and processing is very pleasing. Well done.
