New scope should be here tomorrow - maybe I abandon the 400mm data and try again at ~900mm
Alex,
Thanks for the comments
You maybe imaging at shorter focal lengths but your skies are 50% darker than mine , makes a “HUGE” difference when imaging faint targets.
My focal length is only 1050mm by the way , not exactly long in the general scheme of things.
Cheers
