Love the pic colors. Very smooth and natural, yet detailed. Lots of background galaxies.

Thanks Marc

Thanks Rick. I think you are probably right. I was a bit conservative as my RGB data was rather patchy. I'm hoping to fill in the holes as it looks like some clear nights are coming and then attack the data more aggressively.

What problems are you having?

Thanks Steven. Mostly it seems to be a focus motor that periodically sticks. There is a fix for it but I don't want to go there yet. My other problems are with the CCD Commander software doing unexpected things but that's probably just me programming it incorrectly.

I think you would get quite a few takers John!

Cheers, Marcus

Thanks Marcus - you are probably right. I'm going to try and get some better RGB data before I reprocess. Some of the RGB in this image was a bit patchy.
