Yeah see that's the sort of result I was expecting!! And those are the camera settings I expected to use too. Hmmmmm.
Dunno why it came out so dim. Maybe the CC or secondary got fogged over...? I noticed even when drift aligning that everything seemed very dark, even darker than my ED80. Tried a full frame DSLR and got the same result, so just plugged on so I could have a result of some kind.
But yeah there was definitely something odd going on during acquisition. I'll investigate tonight, will maybe put the old Skywatcher back together for some A/B comparison (I've taken it apart for painting).
