Last night after the moon set,about 12.30 pm,I took this image,its 4 minutes exp, iso 400, use Canon 50D on a 4 inch refractor.My second image using SSAG,mainly checking to see if AG working,When I blow this up I can still see small movements of stars,So will learn how to tune this new system up.But was just pleased to get all the cables etc connected and happening.Hope this finds merit worth commenting on.Thanks Chris

Isn't there an amazing amount of detail in that shot. Imagine 20 or 30 of them stacked up.

Thanks,nice to get some feed back,I am not into the deep in of astrophotography,I imagine this would have looked slightly better if I'd used the bat'nov mask to get focus.
