No I haven't. I can't see it . I'll try if I can point to it. I'm definitely waiting for the HH and orion. I might chuck a quick mosaic of the whole area in Ha?

I have 30 subs on M8 and 40 subs on M16. But I have left the scope not imaging at all as well because I have spent all my evening at the PC processing. I'm not even outside. But I reckon if you spend one night at the scope imaging the amount of data you would get could be quite overwhelming. It's information overload. It's only 10:00pm now and I feel like I have been imaging for one whole week-end when I look at what I've captured so far. I think this system is ideal out in the field. You can setup quickly and shoot a lot of subs then sort them later. Ideal to do mosaic I'd say. Even in narrowband. Because the acquisition time is so fast. It's reversed. You don't wait for your subs anymore . They keep coming in.
