You're just teasing us, can't wait to see the finished image.

No. Not until I do Ha. I never do 30 min LRGB subs - waste of time. I'm also interested in seeing if there is any flexure, but it will have to wait until I do a neb shot.

A keen eye and a tight zoom there Paul
. As it happens, you're critiquing my hasty processing. I was careless and used an action with a minimise filter step (bad Marcus!). If you want to see the raw (except for stretching) picture see:

There is a new camera in my future too
PS: I've now updated the original image to remove the processing error that caused the slightly square stars.

236mm optimally. I have a motorized secondary so I can change it. But I'd need to be careful not change the mirror spacing so much as to degrade the image.
