Thanks Rob!
What I started with and where it is now.. had some work to do that's for sure.
But am pretty happy with it apart from the obvious residual reflection left.
Hope you folk up there are keeping you feet dry!

Then, my RoboFocus unit carked it. I've sent a support request off to Jerry at RoboFocus. Waiting anxiously to hear back his advice. I posted my woes in the equipment forum.
Cheers, mate. And, congrats once again on a very, very compelling and beautiful portrait of an old favourite. Regardless of imperfections, it's an image which had me looking for ages.

Glad your gear is all with you now...
Damn, gotta hate that when something dies in the arse when all you want to do is test out new gear. Course the weather will always be a pain too. Hope you get the unit sorted.
Am looking forward to seeing your work posted again!
Lol I haven't been able to get my Focus Max to work properly ever since I've had the Paracorr in... spent too many hours trying to no luck... have given up for now in disgust and am just using the jog function.. a pain for sure!
Thanks again H

You dislike your narrow FOV, you should see the data I am getting of it right now, the head barely fits in my FOV at all. Not the beste object for my scope.

Cheers Roger for the nice comments!
It's not that I dislike my FOV, just with this object... I've stepped up considerably in FOV so 'I no complain'
I hear you about narrow fov's... I remember when I had a F9 reflector and a tiny TC255 chip... was about 330,000 pixels relating to a detector of 3.2 x 2.5mm or there abouts.... when I decided to image the horse head... wow
couldn't really find the thing until I did at least 1min centering exposures... even then it was noisie as, extremely faint, the head alone took up the whole chip. And as I didn't really have an effective auto guiding system I gave up and went to something brighter.
Be interested to see your end result!
Thanks all for your comments.
Certainly appreciated
All the best
Rich
