Righto, so if the camera is capable, is it worth attempting separate RGB images? I have a RGB filter (1.25") set and I saw a excellant tutorial by Paul Haese some time ago and this seemed to extract more information. Fairly advanced for me at this stage but I'm willing to give it go.

My barlow is a 1.25" and I have a IR/UV filter (1.25" type) screwed into the barlow and then my T ringy thingy piece then goes into the Canon.

John, when you talk about "image scale", does this mean the more magnification I am searching for? I don't know how far I can get with my 8" SN. It has a FL of 812mm (F4) fairly typical Meade run of the mill scope. I have a series 5000 refractor but its only 80mm and 480mm FL.

As for "worst images ever", with the quality of the posts over in the solar and deep space section, crikey, you blokes must have come a long way - gotta check them out!!

Cheers & thanks,
Darrin...
