Look forward to seeing more.

Thanks Jase. I have been mucking around in the sydney lights for a bit and managed to get away to oberon and dark skies, except i had to stay in the motel parking lot coz my little girl wanted to stay in the motel and there is a big factory that lights up the sky....but compared to sydney it was great.
I gave up on the C11 plus wedge and am learning with a Meade ed80 and an eq6. Maybe i will sell the c11 and replace it with a new c11 ota.
I have heaps of questions about maxim. Firstly when i combine the images they come out strangely. I have to adjust the levels as after combining the sliders are all set to the middle of the range. Is this normal or am i doing something wrong. I convert from Cr2 canon raw to 16 bit tiff. When i combine i select 16 bit in maxim.
I want to try guiding and got a meade dsi at the cheap price. First though i will practice with my eq6, ed80, maxim, photoshop and focus assist. Its fun
