Hope you had a good time. I setup at home (too much Xmas cake had given me a poor stomach). Mixed results, started Ok with a ten minute guided shot of Orion but the focus wasn't quite right. Then tried to get the guide camera a bit sharper. Well that was the end of that, combination of poor seeing and what appears to be poor collimation of the guide scope put paid to any further work.

Orion was a single ten minutes ED80 with QHY8 quick process, no flats and just basic levels in Nebulosity.
Setup photo shows the back end of the ED80 with the QHY8 the guider is the new Orion 70mm with a QHY5L-II mono with T thread spacers
