Love the colliding Antennae galaxies. Your color processing is great. What LRGB filters are you using ?

Thank you, I'm using the Astrodon Tru-Balance Generation 2 E-Series. I'm very impressed with them, seems like excellent quality and very easy to work with.

Thanks, yes I'm using the in-built OAG.

That also looks like flexure why? because i have seen it before with the same smearing of the image. Rolf if you are using a guide scope ditch it unless your 10" is impartial to flexure which generally they are not in one form or another be it tube/mounting/accesories. Thats why when ever i see people with 8"+ newts, unless they are high end construction, then its OAG all the way!
As for the images they are looking nice, the Antenna have been my bane so far every time i have looked at them i have been thwated one way or another!

Thank you Brendan, I am using the QAG but I have since made some adjustments to my setup. I knew my polar alignment needed a bit of an update, after all the work I did when I built the new truss tube OTA it must have come slightly out of alignment. After polar aligning again the guiding now seems much tighter. I also switched to using the guiding in Maxim rather than PHD, and what a difference that made! Some more work on collimation also paid off, so I'll post an update with some new images soon.
Thanks all for your comments so far.
