I notice you didn't use a Luminance filter.

Why was that?

Are you saying that the scope arrived from OOUK and
you had to do considerable work to get it going properly?
I've seen a DDM85 mount - they are exceptional mounts.
Robot imaging from Spain is obviously much better than the UK.
Well done and I hope to see many more images from you.



cheers

Generally I dont use Luminance, sometimes I will create a pseudo Luminance by combining the RGB but not for this one.
This 16in ODK was bought second hand. I dont think the chap who had it managed to get on with it. When I got my hands on it it was in a terrible state, with the ugliest stars and flex like you wouldn't believe. I had to strip it and rebuild it, the geometry of the scope was out so in it's condition wouldn't collimate properly....but it turned out to be a stunning scope in the end.
