Great job getting the best out of your gear too
Ha, yes. I woke up this morning realising I'd filled in the background of that star completely, rather than partially, due to a masking issue earlier on with tone mapping. I've made an attempt to correct it :-) Still very big and red but the core is now white. I rotated it for an alternate view.

Thanks for all the nice comments :-) I think with my HEQ5 300s subs are about the limit. I basically keep all my 120s subs but lost quite a few at 300s. With the scope and camera I think I'm bordering on under sampling but probably better than oversampling with this mount. Anyhoo...
