Really lovely colour Mark

Site conditions can really play havoc with a powerful system like yours. I used a similar outfit to yours in a crap location for 18 months and started to think my gear was below par , then I moved...and coupled with better image scale and seriously improved site conditions, the same scope produced markedly different results:

Inner Newcastle NSW - sea level, coastal, moist skies and heavy light pollution along with very regular crap seeing

Semi rural Canberra
600m ASL, dry, inland, generally good seeing conditions and pretty dark skies
