I managed to get these four images which are a damn sight better than last weeks efforts with this scope.. Collimation looks a lot better, as does the focus.. I definitely think there is more in it however!
M8 - 60x1min @ 13nm Ha
M16 - 80x1min @ 13nm Ha
M20 - 40x1min
M83 - 33x1min
The M83 image looks a little strange, It was the first image for the night and it was after this image that I pulled my desicant cap out and stuck it in the oven, and replaced it with my refillable unit from PWT. After this the resulting images were a lot sharper...
One thing is for sure, I need a bahtinov mask for my RC.. After using Robin's one I realised that my initial focus was always out by a whisker or two.. So I think fixing that is the way to go!!
Thanks for looking... Oh, the other pics are shots of our setups all ready for the night...

Great shots Alex, I am with you on the bahtinov mask, mine is in the post from England. With it and more care on setting up my mount I hope to improve my images.
