The colour balance is wrong here but I did do a sky
background auto-adjust. No sharpening has been applied here,
seeing is average to bad and the gully breezes are gale force.
Excuses
I have a collimation issue too!

Hi Steve. there is a lot to look forward to in that combination of scope/mount/camera. I think I would put the coma issue at the top of my list of things to fix. I'm more than surprised the MPCC didn't take most of it out. So I have to ask a question about how you have attached it to the camera. Have you maintained the 55mm separation required between MPCC and CCD? That's a must.
