Ah, that der chicken looks like my fov...

This tuned out excellent considering your lousy conditions.... (no pun intended)
The narrow band has brought out some great depth and highlights.
Lucky Aggie is a quick worker

You are getting the same sort of flex in the bottom L/H corner as me at certain positions in the sky.
Mmm, it's a beggar to track down...
Must be time for an oag for us both I think!

The weather down over here is pretty much the same as you folk on the east coast.... mucho crappola!! And.... with the added texture of the ash cloud waffling up just to add to the mix.
Hope it's not going to be one of those winters

Great get old son, .... well worth the flu!!

On ya Richardo, I am really enjoying this narrowband work, the options are endless and the artistic side can come out , it is a good option in poor seeing conditions too. At F3.8 having a 37mmX 37mm chip in a heavy camera and filterwheel really does push the envelope with this scope design...but so far it has been fun and produced some good results. Without an obso though, I certainly haven't enjoyed the crappy and more worryingly, unpredictable Newcastle weather

Re the off axis guider, won't help with this sort of flexure, rather I think we are talking mechanical flexure in the image train distorting the star images, not differential flexure causing guide errors.

Thanks Dave, I'll get there, colds and flu's always go straight into my chest and then take a week or more to fully clear after feeling better
