Yes, using the OAG setup for this and the M20 I posted a while back. It works reasonably well, however I can see a few things I'd like to change with it. The OAG prism/holder puts a shadow onto the image frame, so I lose a portion of the image. What I would prefer to do is get a larger OAG to match the moonlite focuser width (68mm, from memory) instead of the current 48mm. I'd have the OAG prism stick into that portion and not shadow the image frame. Doing that though would cause issues with the focus distance for the OAG as it would be closer to the focuser than the camera. Anyway, plenty of other things to learn/solve/fix for now, so I'll leave that one for another day.

As for DSS, I understand what you mean - I was comparing "like" for "like" though. My M20 data had an initial fatter histogram than the initial histogram for this one. In fact, for most of my stacking attempts on various data, it's been more like the M20 results - fatter initial histogram.
