Yes focal reducer is on, and so too is the field rotator. But cannot use the zero focuser. The light train gets too long and cannot focus. So all I do it just manually focus on a nearby star. The focus on this is a bit out and should have refocused after taking the M42 shots. I think that I got a slight amount of mirror flop, just enough to make this image look a little out of focus. And this was unguided also. Could not find a guide star for the off axis guider (can you believe that with this many stars?). So there is some trailing. However, I am reasonalby happy with this first attempt on Eta Carina. Hopefully I will be able to try again tonight.
