Well done.

The 150 is sure popping out some top images and as you say, the versatility of going from f5.5, f7.3 and up to f11.7 gives you a nice choice on a lot of targets.
Gotta love the EM400's performance too, it really is a work of art ah?

Well done mate.
Thanks Andrew. Yeah, the 150/EM400 is a nice combo for sure. Watch out though when I get a few nights worth of 1 arcsec seeing!

I wonder whether the TOA extender 1.6 will work with a Sky 90 Tak? I have a Q extender 1.6 but it seems far from flat with lots of vignetting and some chromatic aberration.

I'd love to be able to get in closer to some of these targets.

Thanks Craig. Not too sure about the "TOA" extender and the Sky 90 - a question for the Yahoo Tak forum. The TOA extender yields vignetting too but is easily removed using flats. Field flatness is also an issue but I usually crop out the effect. I've experimented with the Filter->Distort->Lens Correction option in PS too - I think it would be effective if used gently. Thankfully, I have no chromatic aberration.

Thanks all for your kind remarks!

Cheers, Marcus
