Thanks all.
Its funny this astophotograohy stuff, after theach night out i couldnt sleep, just toss and turn thinking about what i could do better.
I think i might give a hartman mask a try, seems like the way to go.
Hey ezy, when your doing your preview do you adjust the white point much at all?. If i dont the image is very faint in the preview shot, is that normal? or do you move it just enough to bring out some detail but stop before the stars get blown out? Do you start with that then bring out all the detail in photoshop?
Its gunna be clear tonight so im trying to get as much of a head start as possible before i head out.
My scope is an LX90 lnt and im in alt/az {no wedge} and use a 3.3 focal reducer
If i dont get the mask made up by tonight{very likely} ill spend more time learning focus with Alex's method.
Thanks again all
