Thanks Rowland and Jon. I’m taking some more frames of Triffid/Lagoon at the moment. This time I took more time setting it up properly. I managed to get the HFR down to about 0.78.

Can anyone tell me what is an acceptable HFR to have?

Also, this time I actually did a proper polar alignment. Up until now I’ve just been plonking my mount down facing true south and doing a two star alignment. I’m embarrassed to say that I actually thought that was polar alignment until I saw the polar align option on my hand controller tonight.

Trying 150 gain at the moment but I think 120 might be better. The auto stretched preview is showing the core of lagoon as very bright.
