Well tested it out last night & it worked, though I don't think the 0.5x reducer is the answer. Will try again using just a 300mm camera lens. It gives me about the same FoV at F/4 and should allow for cleaner images.

These were the targets I tested last night - some worked well, like M20 & M83, while others Like M16 & NGC 6188 didn't do so well, though the clouds were starting to move in when I got these. All are 10 minute stacks with exposures from 1 second to 30 seconds. ASILive isn't too bad to use, fairly simple. Just a case of trying to get the histogram & display settings working together for the best result.
