Hi,

Thought I would share my first attempt at using my ED80 at F6.3 through a DSI-II OSC mounted on LX200 10" guided with DSi-C for 90 sec (about 20 subs). Cant wait until my wedge comes in so I can take longer exposures!

When the clouds move off I will attempt it at f3.3 and try for 60 subs anyway!

Yep I know! Not very wide, but first time I can catch two different objects in the one shot without drzlle or mosaic etc, thanks to the ED80 and F6.3. It will be wider with the f3.3. Cheers
