Thanks all.
There is nothing really worth taking a picture of:
It is the SBIG supplied Canon adapter, and the 8 position CFW.
The camera is attached to a standard Manfrotto camera mount. As you know, these have a mounting clip which screws into bottom of the camera. The Manfrotto itself is bolted with one screw to the saddle plate on the mount. That's it.
Other than that, the lens is at f4.5, but I did notice that the brighter stars were far more bloated (even after focussing) when I moved to the blue filter. Not ED glass obviously!
Greg - yep, I am using a HP 25" LCD monitor, which are known to be 'bright' when compared to CRTs (another reason why you should not print astrophotographs when using these monitors). So while it appeared right on mine, no doubt it is dark on others.
Peter - yes, back in Australia - got here mid Dec. RCOS not back on yet, still playing with the Solarmax DS90 and this Canon Lens. The RC will be back on before winter sets in....hoping to get that 1.5" arcsec seeing I was used to here in Yass before I departed.
cheers
Martin
