Thanks for the comments guys...

Clive : The secondary collected dew like there was no tomorrow, Im going to have to make a dewshield for it, and if that doesnt work, then im going to work on a way of heating the secondary.. The primary stayed clear as a bell.. By 1am this morning, im sure the neighbors were sick and tired of hearing the hair dryer!

Ashley : Yep... Even the grin on my face when looking at the rig after it was all set up was pretty big! Just looking at it thinking.. Carbon fibre RC telescope with self guided SBIG camera... Joy!!

All the images could definitely do with more exposure, and preferably not imaging through a celestial fish bowl

Dennis : M16 is my favorite too.. Im sure I can improve it with longer subs and more of them... I think I'll move to a 7nm Ha and an external guiding setup as self guiding through the 13nm was a little difficult and troublesom at times..

Alex.
