Marc,

Thanks for the advice. This obviously is a learning curve image and a very basic LRGB combination attempt. I have lots of questions on the processing side of things and deconvolution is one of them.

Dave,

I am so glad to have the rig up and running at last and getting data is fantastic, thanks.

Greg,

I used a bahtinov mask to focus and checked it a couple of times in the imaging run and it said it was perfect every time. The scope still has the original focuser on it and I think a Feathertouch or Moonlight may make a big difference. That is one of the next moves. Nebulosity has a fine focus function but I have not come to terms with it yet. I am not even sure that it works with a QHY9. I tried a couple of times but with no success.

Chris,

I always thought that the 10" RC should be OK after a lot of the bugs of the original 8" OTAs had been sorted. I am very happy with it (until the 16" comes out).

Frank
