Improvements ..

Found the RGB Autobalance button in Registax, thanks netwolf. See better results. Debayering seems unnecessary.

My dual scope setup seems to have almost perfect balance in both axis(sp?) on the mount, an unexpected result. I was expecting to have to do some tweaking but with the two 5kg gym weights and the single mount weight it stops and holds in any position. The Lunt is carrying the guide scope piggy back as well.
Spent yesterday paralleling the Mak and Lunt so now they point at the same target within a half minute or so. Useful now I can carry an EP on whatever scope is not imaging.
The 120mc is good for planetary stuff but longer testing imaging reveals a lot of hot pixels. May still give it a run on a few of the brighter nebulae just for fun but the 1600mm-c will be the primary camera.
