I can't afford a new mount at the moment, and I want to improve my images by a little bit so I was thinking about PEC. I have a friend who has PemPro on his lap top so we did a couple of PE runs on my EQ6 and wrote a file for me to load into my PC for EQMOD. I have to say, I am certainly a PE convert now. The difference in the stars is amazing. Along with the PEC, I have had some focusing issues with my 110 and have had to do some painstaking slow refocusing of every filter and target re-acquisition. Coupled with MaxIm that would not re-guide, I had to resort to PHD and its inability to guide from where it starts to calibrate so lost a bit of the field of view.
One image is of Eta Carinae/Keyhole in RGB(no L, have the data but think it looks better without it) of 6x5mins, bin 1x, ea channel.

The other is just a 6x5mins, bin 1x, luminance test shot of Omega Centauri, which could be more detailed, however, I was pleased with the stars. (Oh, and maybe a galaxy or two in the background.)

All taken with a QHY9M, QHY filter wheel and filters on an EQ6 Pro with EQMOD through a Megrez 110. Captured in MaxIm and giuded with MaxIm and PHD. Images calibrated, stacked and aligned in MaxIm. PixInsight and PS CS3 for processing.
Thanks for looking and constructive criticism welcome.
