It matches and may even exceed the Starfire data from a couple of years back  try up sizing to match my data, would be interesting to see. This is not arrogance, that night was good seeing for me and for a 10" F4.6 Newt with large central obstruction and 200mm less FL, to match the resolution of the Worlds finest 6" APO is indeed fantastic!
If you could complete a full wavelength ordered palette (narrowband) version, it has the capacity to stand toe to toe with Martin Pugh's effort from 08

Hey cheers Mike..
I did a bit of a comparison in PS and if I up scale my image to 200% it matches closely to yours.
I'd say they are both on a par my friend. Some of the very smaller dark Boks on yours are better resolved than on mine and then vice versa..
I guess with my obstruction of 31%, this would equate to a clear aperture of around 7" or there abouts.
I think if I had pristine conditions (ah 3 nights in the year and lucky to be in the south) then I could have gone deeper.... perhaps
But as it stands, I was quite happy with the results

was testing new controller software which had a better pointing model and it worked beautifully so was very happy with the result.
Plus the two nights were clear... something I've not seen in the past month

Thanks very much Richard
Yes, it's amazing that they are detached, usually Boks are generally in the vicinity of heavy HII clouds..
Cheers you guys!
All the best for now.... it's gone back to being cloudy with a storm threatening once more
:rolley es:
Chins up
