Nicely done. That turned out very well. A touch of tilt in the camera showing there in the bottom left (that is unlikely to be the same orientation on your camera more likely the top right looking at the camera from the back).
As you say SCNR on the full version would correct that bit of green in the background.
How do you like your Atik 11000?

Thanks Greg,
At least it's not one of hundreds as of yet. As I said I didn't start with the intention to get a M42 pic so it's nice that it turned out OK. The tilt is something that I chase every time that I set the system up. Not a lot of adjustment with the GSO 3" focuser. In the next year I'm hoping to upgrade the system, so better things to come. The Atik (as is the rest of the system) was bought second hand from Tandem here on IIS. The Camera worked well up to January when it developed a fault that needed a trip to the UK for a new power board! $500 later and a full service and it's like a new one. It has a lovely wide field and as there are at least 3 line errors but good Darks and Bias remove them easily. What I don't love is the vignetting at the edges of the field. I had hoped that the 3" Wynne corrector would give it full coverage but alas good flats are an essential component of the imaging process.
all the best
Paul
