Thanks Jase.
A constructive comment as usual

My guiding has always been spot-on for imaging at f7.5 but it was a real test at f10.
My guidescope is only f5 and I had no idea how it would cope.

These images were a test to see how well the Klevtsov works in dark sky and most of the time was taken up getting a new laptop and new programs working correctly so there wasn't much time left for loooong subs.

1566 (Spanish Dancer) will make a good test object for longer exposures as it has very faint outer arms.
Then it will be the search for my favourite objects, very faint distant Galaxy clusters

But so far I am happy with the results Berts Klevtsov gives.
