The orientation of the two gifs are obvious.

I also made a hdr using the Starfire image to be one stop less than the new scope without any adjustment of your original images.

HDR here 6MB

It is not ideal but the very dim tight stars from the Starfire come up a treat so does the dim HA from the new scope.

So the AG12 image was distorted to match the Starfire shot then?

Although I am sure I will do better with the AG12 in time, the Starfire is a bleedin masterpeice huh?

Interesting comparisons.

I have to say though, the HDR combo does look a bit yukky

Thanks mate

Mike
