Hi Mick,
Great colour there, nice to see what the ED100 does, I notice that your focus might be a tad out (easy to do) and in processing the intensity or contrast is too great, you have white-out in the keyhole portion of the nebula where there is normally a lot of detail, I would suggest you could improve the detail a lot if you cut back on the brightness, also do a sharpen function with whatever software you process with, this should improve a good picture even more (constructive criticisim only) look forward to seeing more from the ED100.
P.S. Do you mount the ED100 on the LX200, I have a Tak100 here on loan and tried this, but its a bit heavy and the LX200 (on a Giant wedge) dosent want to guide correctly in Dec...Pix. attd. showing results. J.W.
cheers....Jim
