I wouldn't normally post such a quick shot but starved of opportunities lately.

Still, not bad at all.

Yes I noticed stars in the top left were out of focus. The MMAOG has 4 grub screws and last time I swapped the camera over to another scope and put it back in it didn't seat 100%. Just fixed it now in the daylight. There's something to be said for setting something up and leaving it alone!

Of course, use a mask to keep the stars from popping (become completely saturated). Keep them coming.

Its only slightly cropped. Other targets are galaxies but I need a few days of clear weather to do them justice so something brighter was what I was after.
I can try that sharpening although it is really badly lacking in exposure time (about 4 hours total exposure and most of it thrown out - clouds) so it may just make it noisy. I'll give it a go.
