Good attempt and looks great - best to get auto-guiding going as it be giving you more imaging time per shot

Thanks Bill, your right a auto-guide and coma corrector will be the shot! Now breaking to the wife, that's the hard part haha.


Dave I did a full realign and collimated the TS glass but unfortunately I had no luck...bugger. Hasn't phased me tho, im going to have my fingers crossed with the coma corrector. Because that's all it can be now, collimation is near on perfect and still the problem remains. Not to worry here's maybe a slight improvement with the shape of the stars and a big one with the processing.
