Thanks for the comments everyone!

Martin, thank you. It’s been a very fun capture, and I might even continue getting a bit of time with it. Enjoy every minute with your 10” scope in the dome. I’m sure it’ll shoot some great images with the MM when the time us right.

Mike, thanks for the compliment. True, a lot has changed in recent times and it’s good to pause and think about these things. Personally, if a process is performing calculations to, say, map a point spread function to what a star should look like, I’m all for it. The process is trying to undo the effects from the atmosphere just as how my flat frame calibration is trying to undo vignetting caused by my camera (okay, probably quite an unfair comparison…!). Anything in addition to the math is, I guess, more art and less science.

John, I appreciate that, thanks.

Dilshan, thanks, I really like these colours. While doing my research, I found that Antlia offered me best the best quality versus price in my price range. Too early to say still, but so far I’m not disappointed.
