Thanks Marc. It’s an area that would fit nicely with your FSQ

Coolah dark skies certainly help!

Can never have enough M78's

You’re probably right Andy, when I do my reprocess I’ll run it through Lightroom for some contrast adjustments.

Thanks Mike, it is a damn fast scope no denying that. You’re right about the bottom right corner, it is a bit out. The method I’ve been using to correct that has in the past caused issues with the bottom left corner so next clear night I plan on trying something else

Do you use Baader filters? I notice you have the same reflection issue as I had with all my Baader filters.

I’ve got Astrodon GenII LRGB. The reflections are a combination of the RH200 (which creates a ring diffraction pattern) and the sensor which creates a microlens diffraction pattern.
