Thanks Dennis

Yes, the Atik 314L only has 1.4MP at 6.45um size, so the FOV on my 1000mm Newt means I can get in nice and close, with the Orion 0.8x FR in the imaging train, the FL of the scope goes from 600mm to 480mm which is F6, BUT the camera brings it up nice and close, so Omega fills the view

I have a few more I am trying to process, namely the Lagoon, Eta Carinae and M104, just shaking the cobwebs out of my brain.

I DO like the round stars without having to collimate, though. Polar alignment was pretty rough but the light weight of the scope and finders meant PHD kept it well under control enough for 5 min subs.

Thanks for the comments

Cheers

Chris
