Oh No! Why on earth did you put an 11000 chip in the back of the Tak - you must know you've just lost you're footing on the slippery slope again.....!
Love that Eta field.
Yeah the moon was up til late but forgetting to shoot Ha flats and then finding Ha was really Lum has upset the images. I'll have a go at sudo flats and then somehow combining heavily exposed L with 5min Ha later, I was just too anxious to see the FOV this morning. The image scale there is just over 3arcsec/pixel

That's from pmrid's atik Paul with a qhy wheel and 2" nose. The wheel has 54mm openings as does the camera. The camera sensor has a 43mm diagonal and the fs-102 provides a 50mm image circle. I have cropped off some corners but it looks more like a flats issue than vignetting. I was hoping to get it going on the fs-60 which can do a 45mm image circle for a look see, but that 53mm thread on the flattener was a problem
