Thanks Mick- yes it’s tiny and I’m really enjoying exploring the deep sky with the c14 even though I mainly got it for visual and planetary. I just got into the habit with my non edge scts leaving the reducer in for dso imaging. Guess I just figured the faster speed and flatter field might be an advantage but you’re right for something like this it’s be better without it.
Raymo- yes you’re right - but this was a 1.9mb upload auto scaled down by IIS to 42kb

. But also since this was done in the trial version of startools it’s a screen shot which is going to lose resolution immediately anyways. I’m in the process of buying the licence but I think that might be the best quality I can upload for now till the licence comes through… but here’s a link to the 1.9mb version:
