I have one night of data on this target myself. It will be interesting to compare how much I got in a shorter time with smaller aperture and a less sensitive camera.

Thanks Rick. Yes it would make an interesting comparison. The Trius is less oversampled with the reducer but still not 100% ideal match.
I intend acquiring more data for this one as some images work out better than others and this one is the best of my recent images so its worth adding to it. I'll try and get another 9 to 10 hours worth.

Great combination with your setup. Looks like it is working well. But I bet you know of a few issues that need to be tweaked, I can't see them in the photo though.

Yes you can always tweak your gear. Its rarely a static hobby.
No real issues with this setup at the moment although I would prefer an AO and an OAG to guarantee perfect tracking and tighter stars.
I also have to watch the stars when processing from this camera. They easily get a slight fuzz around them which can be accentuated by enriching colour processing so star masking correctly done becomes important.

Thanks Allan. That's a nice compliment. But its true. Every now and then one image just really works and it makes up for the ones not 100%.
Greg.
