Rho Ophiuchi - Unmodified 350D

G'day all,

I've been having a great time the last 5 nights in my observatory. I hadn't used it for months, and now have rediscovered it.

The new PC is running everything smoothly, the LX setup is plodding away through NGC's and the Losmandy is doing some fun stuff with wide field shots on the Megrez 90. Quite productive.

Here's a shot from the Megrez/Losmandy setup taken with the 350D:

I'm very pleased with it considering:
- unmodified 350D
- 3 minute subs
- haven't tweaked the setup for 3 months, just simply turned it on and started imaging.

The anoying bit is the edge distortion, appearing as rotation, caused by the WO v3 field flatenner over-correcting.

Roger.
