cheers Jeff! Fairly happy with the result, but like usual I could have framed it better, always get this a bit lopsided for some reason!
cheers

Thanks Mike! Must admit it took a few hours to process but the data was pretty good except that minor banding.

I assume it's a Central DS mod or is it DIY?
Any pros and cons re using the camera?

Thanks Doug, It`s a DIY job actually, The only con at the moment is that I don`t want to push the temp too low as I havn`t made up a antidew system for it, and it weighs a bit now at 1.35kg, get some minor flexture with the focuser/tube, something else I will have to fix up.
With tests the camera cmos can get to around 25c below ambient. I shall have fun when the humidity drops down for sure!
Oh and the unprotected fan wants to suck my hair into it when focusing with liveview! Have to watch that one!
