Managed to get three short avies tonight before the cloud moved back in. This is the last of the three using a barlow. Trialed the SAC 4.2 with the Meade DSI IR filter.

Seeing about 7/10, transparency 6/10. Considerable humidity in the air and very light fine cloud

Best 50/100 frames. 2sec exp at 80% gain. Meade 8" sct with 2X barlow. Initial processing in Registax, curves, levels and re-size x 200% in PS

I reduced the image back to natural size in the second one. I think I prefer it for detail
Quite happy with it for a trial run.
