more lagoon repros

hi,

plenty of repro's going around because of the Venus like cloudy conditions. so due to boredom and that I was generally unhappy with my original processing (particularly with blowing out the hourglass) - I've had a crack at my most recent lagoon - turns out I had to be careful in how I altered the 32bit file to 16 bit - (turns out it wasn't dslr well depth afterall).

Original on this thread - unfortunately the same terrible conditions and only 40 mins AND that terrible focuser tilt. on that subject, I am looking to upgrading how the moonlight is attached to the tube, any recommendations on how to do this are welcome.

It isn't always present (which is why I probably haven't fixed it yet) but it must be loose as sometimes its quite pin point edge to edge then on other occasion the left side is quite bad - probably depending on angle. I was thinking simple wingnut setup with nuts on the focuser side.

anyway I think its an improvement just a shame with the tilt.
