Cheers Ian the full frame shot is indeed the full frame with only minor trimming to remove dithering and meridian flipping overlap...but it isn't so much the FL as the image scale of course, which involves CCD pixel size
and scope FL, so with 1120mm FL and 4.54 micron pixels I am at 0.83"/pix... which can be achieved with any number of combinations of scope and chips, ie shorter FL need smaller pixels to get same image scale as longer FL and bigger pixels....of course you knew all that
... so sorry for telling you how to suck eggs

I have a bit of data on this object from last year and a little more from the last new moon. I must slap it together and see how it looks.
Cheers,
