Hi Scott
Love that CG4 shot , the 6" seems to be working even better .wonder if its worth getting the corrector coated , I think Chi Qin can do that sort of stuff .

Very nice as usual Scott.... Man that CG4 is dim huh! I thought about giving it ago last night, but it would've been a struggle with my light polluted skies.
Boy you do get through some work in a single night! I was out for 4hrs last night and only got two images that I've yet to process! How do you do it...?
Cheers

Thanks all. I only intended to do CG4 but the skies looked better and the small amount of cloud cleared so I kept on going.
I have thought of getting the corrector coated, or even going the whole hog and getting the mirrors dielectric silvered too.
Yes CG4 is a faint one thats for sure. I wonder how the 10 will go when I get its freshly coated mirror back. Nice shot of it Zane, theres a hint of reddish H alpha emission there by the look of it.

Just as a matter of interest,what's the damage getting the corrector coated and the mirror redone?
