First Images from Skywatcher MN190

Here are the first images taken through the Skywatcher MN190 Mak-Newt. Obviously a wider field of view to my 10" imaging newt, but the star shapes, great contrast, flat field, lack of coma right to the edges, etc all make for a good subs. These are both single subs, converted to jpg for Astrobin. Eta C is a 209" sub at ISO 800 and Centarus A is a 270" sub but at ISO 1600 so very noisy. Very happy with the MN190. Both shots taken with the Canon 450D Full Spectrum, my uncooled one - yes I have two.

Thumbnails are included for illustration purposes but they are very poor quality compared to the Astrobin files.

**BTW if someone knows a good way to get higher quality thumbnails within the 200kb size restriction on IIS please let me know.
