Thank you! You have similar equipment (EQ - 6 mount)! I have also Newton 254/1200 and now I modify my telescope for astrophotos. I am waiting only for upgrade my EQ - 6 mount to EQ - 6 Sky scan. :)

Thats a huge FOV - very long rectangle..? Did you crop off the bottom?

Nice work.

Hallo Mike. Yes, I most crop off the bottom, because I had in the picture same unspecified errors (may be problems with copying from camera to pc).
I had not chance for reparation these errors.

Thank you!

Pavel :)
