Thanks guys. Rob, you're ahead of me. I have yet to learn the arts and mysteries of colour combination/mapping etc. I was really just trying to get some sets of data together to take with me to the AAIC so I could "practice what others preach".
David: bit of both I think. I'm waiting till my next trip to Brisbane to visit Ron at Sirius and grab a Bahtinov mask for the 14". I have a motorised JMI focuser on it but because it's an EdgeHD scope and requires a fixed distance between the rear cell and imaging plane, I have to use the standard SCT focus knob for coarse focus and only use the JMI for the final tweak. But with a Bahtinov, I'm reasonably confident of getting pretty good focus.
