Uploaded a new version (drizzled and a lot more contrasty, no where near as flat) on Astrobin
(high res). I am a lot happier with this one.

Totally agree, it was quite flat. It wasn't until I compared my latest attempt with the original that I could see just how flat it was!

If my eyes do not deceiving me, it looks like perhaps you have not applied flats to this image? Applying flats would help with stretching later on and could bring up the fainter bits even more.
Please let us know when you new mount arrives. |
Thanks
I did use flats though, not that I really need to for the most part. An astrograph with a large corrected field and a small sensor, I only have 4-5% vignetting at worst.
You along with everyone else will know when the mount arrives
Looking forward to having a near dead silent slewing session around my lounge room while it rains outside for a week or two

Thanks Meru, it is a lovely scope
I think I just have some tilt to deal with
