Thanks Martin, I was just trying to get the basics of the image acquisition, stacking and processing, based on my previous DSLR experience.
I used SGP so had to learn that on the fly as well, so glad I managed to get something at least. I didn't apply flats to the images, so there is a fair bit of artifact in them.

Can you 10" f4 fit on the EQ6?

Thanks Al,
I can mount the 10" f/4 on my EQ6 with an extension bar and extra counterweight, but didn't want to take on too many challenges at once
For now, I intend to get the image capture, stacking and processing routine down first and then will try to mount the reflector.
I do love my frefactor though, very forgiving as it gives a reasonable wide fov.
Cheers
Bo
