I look forward to seeing some more shots like it  |
Thanks Roger, I don't have a program or sky chart which labels those fainter distant ones. Nice to know who they are
When I raise the brightness I can see more but it makes the whole pic look terrible.

Ta Vingo the Dingo, yep, the 100mm does gather more light than the ED80, but it is an Achro so the quality isn't up to the ED80. Plus I need the extra light gathering for finding a Guide Star with the unmodified Toucam I use for guiding
