Cheers John - I use the SynScan mount electronics to aid in focusing...without the Ha filter in place I pick a bright star as User Object #1, then frame the Cat's Paw (and find a guide star) as User Object #2.
Then insert Ha filter into imaging chain - focus using Live View on User Object #1 (bright star) then slew to object #2 confident in focus and framing!! LOL

Your photos are paving the way for the rest of us to dust off our SLR lenses and try Ha photography from the suburbs.


Thanks.

Cheers Ross - good lenses can produce some very pleasing results
