Just a quick one to see how the data was. Will get more tonight hopefully.

Thanks Scott a 16 min exposure really shows up any EQ axis misalignment or guide scope misalignment from the imaging scope. Being able to leave everything setup means it is worthwhile really getting polar alignment spot on or very close. Also collecting data on many nights is now a breeze as the whole setup does not change. I would like to see a few objects in this field imaged with a 24" RCOS. Images below.

Yes a lovely field of view that and I agree, would be good to see some of those bits up close and personal through a big scope...Peter W, Jase...???

Peter W and Jase are right you just cannot beat lots of collected photons.
