Doug, Steve and Jen, I appreciate your kind thoughts about my image. It means alot to get feedback from people who have been down this road before and the fact that it's good feedback makes it even better!!
Dave, thanks for the repro on the image. I had real trouble with the green in the image. I was trying to increase the saturation in PS but there was a point where I started getting the green tinge. I tried to back it out but it was late at night and I thought "that'll do!".
I've got an Orion ST80 to use as a guidescope but I've yet to jump through those hoops of hooking it all up! I kind of feel that I should understand drift aligning before I head down the guidescope route anyway, if only for my own understanding. As for the coma, I'll look into the Baader MPCC and then add it to, what my wife calls, the never-ending list!
Unfortunately it's raining again in Brisbane so I'll just have to bide my time until I drag the gear out again for some more fun in the dark!
Mario
