Actually Doug I can now stretch exposures out to 30secs at this
FL without too much star bloat.
On the previous spur gear reduction I could only manage 15-30s
on nights of excellent seeing.
However there is a down side. Because I use the 12" light bucket
I am nearly starting to clip stars inside 5139 for example after only
5sec exposures on the lum channel.
Here is the histo curve of 5319 after the curve has been applied.

I can't wait to try the new gear on 5128 and 253. I did a short set on
5128 last night but it wasn't my best.

Sorry about the weather Doug. We've had a few good nights here
lately but I've been crook with the flu. Hooray for remote desktop

regards,
Steve
