Lagoon 7 hours CDK now repro'd

I took this over a few weeks. The Ha a little while ago and the LRGB over one night.

Planewave CDK17, FLI Proline 16803 and Paramount ME.

I collimated the scope and checked primary to secondary spacing before this LRGB part of the image.
Collimation need a slight tweak, spacing seemed fine (it has to be accurate to +/- 1mm).

HaLRGB just under 8 hours total. Seeing was poor, focusing was a bit tricky at times as the same focal point would show one in focus and the 2nd would show some poor seeing and it would look a bit out of focus.
The seeing generally improves as the night goes on and the images seemed to be sharpest as usual when taken near the zenith and after midnight.
