Actually, the starless version reminds me of the dusty disc around Beta Pictoris

Thanks Mike. Was surprised and happy how far managed to push the data - was expecting the worst for chasing it over and between trees for few hours total.
Last weekend was first time I've dug into NINA's Advanced sequencer and was really impressed how well it communicates what its going to do next based on refocus criteria, time to next target (including local horizons and object elevation etc in logic). Surprisingly powerful.
FOV is what the QHY247C and FSQ @f/5 gives for single panel. Still waiting on some adapters to have a go at f/3.7 with the reducer.
Really enjoying the higher QE and FOV the CMOS camera gives over the old QHY9 (KAF8300), smaller pixels suit the refractor, and stars seem bit easier to get natural colour too. Maybe just shorter subs and different well depth. Having fun!
