I'll be doing some widefield images using that and the MMOAG ST402ME guiding at 3 metres focal length through the CDK17. So the CDK17 is the guidescope for the FSQ hehehe. If that doesn't give round stars nothing will! Plus a newly mounted Robofocus on the FSQ will help keep accurate focus which gets quite critical at F3.4 on that scope.

Not a bad M42 there Greg, certainly great image scale again with some amazing large scale structures and some nice contrast. Maybe you could have extracted a little more clear detail in the core and some more star clour would be good but overall a cool image mate

oh and I don't hate you, that was just a term of endearment
