Reminds me of my first image of the Tarantula
, mine also picked up a lot of blue. I hope to get another crack at it again soon but this time with my little Vixen piggybacked on top of the Meade. I'm also planning on using ISO 1600, with perhaps 3-5min subs, so it'll be interesting to see how it turns out!
When I use the 0.63 focal reducer on my LX200, my DSLR gets a little too close for comfort to the base plate on my mount, given that it's pointing very close to the SCP.
Cheers, Evan
