Dear All
I have been playing with my new Qguider and these are the first colour images I have tried with it.
The scope is my VC200L guided with the qguider on a skywatcher 120mm f5.
Exposures are lum 6 x 3mins with 3x 3mins for each colour channel. Clearly I need more practice with processing but I was very happy with the nice round stars.

Nice start Terry. You'll find the more data collect, the easier it will be to process. Trying to stretch insufficient data will in noise. Isn't the VC200L a modified DK? I think I would expect to see pinpoint stars from this optical design. Of course, tracking/guiding could be another cause, but by the looks of things you nail that. I think longer exposures should be your next focus.
