Finally got out under the moon free sky with a mission to take a decent shot, pretty sure I got one except for a few little things.

I looked through this scope visually the other night and was very impressed, how clear and how many stars you could see in omega cent, I could not wait to get out imaging.
I tried a few new things this time, the biggest would be using remote capture so I sat inside in the warmth while the laptop did the clicking away. I also used more darks and for the first time flats. To take the flats I used a a combination of my laptop and paint to give a completely white flat screen. seemed to have worked too.

The one problem I'm having is over corrected coma from the MPCC which is noticeable in the full size image, can't do anything about it until the W/O FR/FF come in, till then I have to persevere.

Anyway on with the details

FLT110 plus MPCC
