Trifid with a new reducer

Hi guys,

A break in the weather allowed me to test out a new Optec Lepus 0.62x focal reducer. Pretty happy that the stars are round towards to edges of the frame. Only a small crop to remove stacking errors. Seeing conditions were bad, so surprised with the result. Also still learning PixInsight and how to use the OAG. If it wasn't cloudy I'd be gathering more data!

Any suggestions welcome.

Trifid Nebula again.
LRGB 5 min subs, 35:25:25:25 mins
Total 110 min exposure
QSI 683WGS camera at -20C
OAG with image source camera, PHD2
Captured with SGP
Only Darks used.
LX90GPS 8"
1240mm @F/6.2

Processed in PixInsight and tweaks in PS6.
