I'd say it's a difficult one.... even at a dark site. To get a handle on the colour and fine structure prior to processing, I can't say I saw any top-shelf examples taken from Oz on the web...I suspect they are there, just haven't found them yet. Happy to be pointed to some useful URL's though.

I should have bolted my STT8300 to the scope...then the entire field would have been perfect

Regardless, it is a wonderful start!
The scope has the optional dedicated corrector attached...and a separate focal reducer corrector (yet to be tested). That said...given the lower right data is uncropped and at the extreme edge of a 16803....

...I'm really not too fussed.
