How do you find the mechanics of the focuser? Smooth?
Thanks

The focuser is very smooth. It seems not to slip but I haven't aimed it high in the sky yet.

The images are very sharp and seem completely free from any distortions.. which can only be seen as a good (read: GREAT) thing.
Coloring seems pretty sweet to, provided you focus it up as well as you have here on your first deep space imaging run I think the results will leave you with your mouth on the floor.
Good example subject too.. it really helps to see what these scopes can do when you have a subject that most people can scale in their minds. Seeing something thats 15m lightyears away is great and all that, but really, nobody can quite get their heads around the numbers involved to make an accurate judgment (or any kind of size comparison.)
Would be great to see a pic taken from the same spot of the same area with a dslr and a 35/50mm lens. (obviously you'd be very lucky to get the roos to pose the same for you)
I cant wait till your sky clears!! - Neither can you I imagine.

The Roos were about 200m away.
If I used a 50mm lens from the same spot you woukd have just seen the dooway that I was aiming the scope through.
Because of the APS size sensor of the 40D, the scope equates to the equivalent of a 1500mm lens on a 35mm camera. Pretty good for wildlife shots. They were 1/60 sec exposures.
