This image is a test shot from a 10" F3.8 newt which has had a faulty spider replaced. I had to use the QHY9 with no filter wheel or mpcc as I needed the OAG in the chain to eliminate flex and this was the only way I could achieve focus. I had to remove the camera to replace filters on the nose and there's lots of coma. What a pain, but that's it out of the way at last. I'll bring it up next new moon pete unless your in town before that and want to come get it.

This has about 24 x 5 minute Lum binned X1 and 8 each x 100sec RGB binned x2.

All shot from the burbs last Friday night.

[edit]
Cheers Trevor, I ran green killer over it but I was really more interested in how much detail is in it and if collimation shifted as it rose.
I have added one from the fs-102 from last night using half the number of subs as a comparison.
I didn't want to pop this to the top of the threads, hence this edit instead of a reply.
