Very kind of you, Mike. Not a magnum opus like your Helix, but I think I'm improving

Looks like little coma in the top left though?

Thanks, Marcus. I have a little tilt according to CCD Inspector. I'm installing an Atlas focuser next week and I'm going to work on getting everything solid and orthogonal then.

Anyone know how that works? Is it upside down and reversed like a Box Brownie camera image?


Greg.

Thanks, Greg. Once I get the Atlas set up I'll check the tilt and have a play. I don't know exactly how the corners of the image map to the physical sky, but I'll work it out. It's going to vary depending on the type of scope (mirrors vs lenses, etc.) and even the software. With default settings PixInsight displays images differently to Maxim! One assumes the origin is the lower left corner and the other assumes the upper left corner

Rick.
