Here are two pictures taken with a TAL 200k and Hutech focal reducer.
About 700k each.

The focal reducer seems to work best with thin spacer (for 640mm FL) with the Tal 200k for flattening the field. The resultant focal reduction is a factor of 0.895.So resuting FOV is 1.15X0.77 degrees and focal length of 1790mm @ F9.
Details Cent.A 6X240sec
Omega C. 3X240sec
For both,Canon 5DH,ISO 1600,in camera noise reduction on,LPR filter,raw to 16b tiff,stacked with Registar,adjusted curves and levels in Photoshop.
There is also a pic at the same scale of HH and Flame only a single two minute exposure all else the same, before the cloud won again.
