Ah sigh....Life, weather and equipment don't seem to be able to coperate all at the same time these days sooo not much has been happening at Mt Campbell Observatory Mark III of late

.
I wasn't going to post it but what tha heck...this is the latest test image from last new moon. Nothing spectacular that's for sure, it's just a simple 3X10min Halpha shot of NGC 6357 and the first image taken using the 4" field flattener with the ProLine11002. It was Binned 2X2 by accident so it's lower res than I wanted DOH!

and taken through some cloud even

And here is a reprocess of Omega Cen from some weeks back taken with the starfire but without the field flattener so it was cropped (yeh I was bored

Hopefully this new moon will see me able to test the Starfire and 4" Field flattener properly?
Cheers & Happy imaging
