Yeh the first thing I do after Bin,Autodev and Crop is create a star mask an invert then move on to the main modules
If you want to work out roughly whether you will fit an object in your image frame just use he following calc
Width of camera chip in mm x 3460 divided by the focal length in mm of your main scope = FOV in arc minutes
My set up gives me 77.2 arc minutes
Lagoon Nebula is 90 x 40 arc minutes so my set up will clip the sides of the Nebula
Yours is probably in the order of +90 arc minutes lucky you !!
Still happy using BYEOS it’s kicking goals for me so I’m not upgrading at the moment unless I progress to cooled CCD sometime in the future
