Lovely shots Chris, fantastic detail.

Top shot Chris personally I think B&W brings out the structure of globular clusters better.

Good resolution to the core Chris ... however as Mike Siddonio would say you seem to have some " nipples " on your stars ... was it windy ? Are you using a field flattener ?

:thumbsup:

Thanks guys. :)

Steve - no flattener, but one required. Just trying to wait for the WO 0.8 Mk4 to come out as I really don't feel like paying Takahashi prices for their TSA version.

Nice!

I've gone back to using my Baader MPCC instead of WO FLAT68 ... seems to do the job really well with the relatively small ST2000XCM chip. The flat68 is sitting in it's box waiting for the day when I might buy a full frame 35mm CCD ... I'll wait for prices to become more affordable on one of those babies ;)

Having said that I really like the results I'm getting from the ST2000XCM.
