The CFF is correcting for the 16803 very nicely.
It had a very specific metal back distance of 77.4mm. I measured everything carefully and added the extra 1mm for the 1/3rd of the 3mm thick Astrodon filters. Joshua Bunn made me 2 very precise adapters so I am at the exact distance. Thanks Josh. I have one for both the Proline and the Microline 16 which I have yet to use on it. I wonder if the smaller pixels will be noticeable.

Yes they are a pleasure to use and make imaging so much easier and really more fun.

Sharp too - I wonder if for aesthetic's sake if it would be worth punching up the yellow stars for some colour contrast?

Great stuff - congrats on a new toy that works as it should!
That's a good idea Andy. I did a small amount of that and it does look a bit nicer. Thanks for the tip.

Cheers Bart. This area of the sky is really one of the night sky gems.
