Hi Rob, that's quite a wide field you got there. We had some better seeing tonight althouh it was hotter. To make use of it, I decided to swap the filters from the big Celestron (the NB filters) and put them on the ED127/SXVR_H16 combo. I also used the WO4 flatterner reducer although I don't think I got the backfocus right because there's still something happening around the edges that I'll have to chase down.

SO now, the HaLRGB filters are on the big scope to do some galaxy hunting.

ANyway, because I now have an official poultry fetish going, here are the results from the very first light of the H16.
