Well done Frank.

Have you got a 6.3 focal reducer....if not you will find one very handy...it will give you brighter images with less exposure time...very handy if your planning on doing 1 or 2 minute unguided exposure...they say your exposure time will be cut in half for the same results plus also giving you a larger FOV.

90% of all my images were done with a focal reducer....imaging at F10 is too slow unless your autoguiding and plan on doing exposures for eg... over 5 minutes at F10.
You will find the reducer to be most valuable...unfortunetly I dont have one anymore but can be picked up at most astronomy stores.

Was this just 1 exposure frank and did you shoot in raw......

Nice start and if you need any help with processing images ask away.
