The imaging rig is coming together now :) only need to install a belt mod (which is in the mail), tidy up my wiring and fine tune my Phd2 settings and I'm pretty much all set. Will probably look at peltier cooling and light polloution filter after I'm done though... it never ends :lol:

Got a Baader mpcc III last week and busted it out last night, pretty good results out of the box. two of the corners have slightly out of round stars but seeing as they are diagonally opposite corners and the other two corners are good I think that's about as good as I will get. Also sorted a problem with strange diffraction spikes from my last image, due to a bent spider vein which was replaced by the supplier of the scope.

Only got 12 subs as I was mainly playing with phd settings but pretty happy with it. Moon was out for second half of the subs.

12 x 120sec lights
8 x darks
101 x bias

I'd be very happy with those results Tim :) Great shot for your first light with the new coma corrector :) Difficult to do a lot when a big bright moon enters the skies.

Very good effort Tim.
Can't wait to have your belt kit fitted.
