I'd agree with you that the huge stars do detract a little, but that's a minor detail. Great to see so many rare galaxies getting in the spotlight lately. Thanks for the view.
Thanks Rolf. Yes the overall performance of the scope is impressive - 7.5 inch APO picking up that much light and detail in "only" 6 hours 40 minutes. I am working on the star problem. I am thinking of installing a black cardboard baffle over the ccd window to see if that makes any difference. Perhaps flock the insides of my adapters. As usual the technician hat of this hobby is now on and I will sort it out one way or the other.

Greg.
