Hi Greg,
yes I have to agree with the image being a little soft and I've noticed it a bit on a couple of your previous images with the CDK.
I'm sure you have as well, so lets be honest ok.
8 hours is really a huge amount of data for any FL in my opinion, F6.8 is not that slow and should really be showing a truck load of detail. Especially with the Ha data and even in a LP area.
Seeing would have something to do with it but I'm leaning towards collimation... or something else at play here. As with you, I really want to see this scope of yours do better.
Not saying that you're doing anything wrong here, but how are you collimating this thing??
I took a snap in CCD inspector to see what's happening... it is out by a fair bit. Not that CCD inspector is gospel but it has helped me out in the past trouble shoot.
I reckon, get collimation down to perfect, perhaps find a better method to do it. (F6.8 not as critical as F4 but I think for every thing to come together and work well it needs to be spot) use Focus max and things will be better even in LP.
Keep us updated with your findings Greg, we'd all like to see you get the best from this beauty.
All the best
Rich
