Now 2 versions. The stretched version I agree is pushing it. More exposure time once the moon is down before its totally gone for the year will help.

Gotta love this AP140 and its reducer. Not many scopes can handle that chip so well.

When I see your two images side by side I prefer the latest repro as the contrast seems better however I was referring to your image compared to Peter's in my post. What I originally commented on re the detail in the nebulosity is present in both of your images.

Regards,

Peter
Thanks Peter.

Thanks Fred. I'll shoot some more Ha before its gone for the year to build it up. I did take some more after I received the correct adapter but there was a reflection from where I ground down one adapter to fit my filter wheel. I need to blacken it.
