Seeing was ok at times but generally speaking, overall it was pretty ordinary.

F32 with some F22's coming soon that will hopefully be slightly better.

In the shot, Rhea Tethys & Dione.

Nice work Asi, reducing the F/L from F32 to F22 certainly made for a crisper image, although the F32 image is still a very respectable result.

My 5x PM, filter wheel & Flea3 are a complete fixed unit which has many advantages but when the seeing is ordinary I often think about separating it to allow more flexibility regarding F/L. Being an optimistic soul I keep expecting better seeing will be just around the corner.

Well done.

Trevor

Thanks JJJ appreciate your comment:thumbsup:

Cheers Trevor. I've found the flexibility to be able to change the F/L's to suit the conditions almost mandatory here in QLD.

Great work Asimov.

It is good to see a lot of gifted astro-imagers on here. When I take it up in a few months I'm going to be looking for heaps of advice.

Thanks

Thanks Troy.

Thanks Earl. I've spent a few years getting the right equipment, camera & associated software etc. etc. but the only real gift is that nice seeing that sometimes occurs. Only too happy to offer any advice when you're ready:thumbsup:

Fantastic image, I like the way the C11 brings out the extra colour and definition compared to my 9.25 and the rings nice and clear. The F22 shows a lot more colour bands on the surface, nice work.

Thanks Bob & long time no hear mate.

Thanks Carl. My first SCT was a C9.25 but the C11 does give you that extra advantage.
