Thanks Rolf, your results and knowledge has been a massive motivation. I wouldn't have attempted the truss build without your input.
Just a couple I thought might be passable.
Omega Cent Glob, NGC 5139, 8 frames, 20 secs ISO 1600. DSS stacked. Had to really shift the brightness and contrast to bring this up. Dark frames took out the noise and some amp glow.
A screen cap of Sombrero, M104 on DSS. It is almost invisible in Photoshop, too faint to seperate from the background but I was pleased to just capture it anyway. Will give me an incentive to get back to it properly after I get guiding etc going. I'm just wrapped it has captured the edge dust lanes, I thought I was getting a poor double image at first
I also imaged an area near Spica (West) which had numerous Mag 10-14 Galaxies and caught hints of them in DSS ( one for sure ) but a long way from enough photons to be useful. And this was over the CBD without any filters. Need 2" CLS filter and a 10:1 focusser.
Eta C was just washed out in red\purple dust, again needs a lot more exposure to capture the real details as not enough to get the separation needed.
But it will do for a start.
Saw a mod to convert a single speed focusser to fine adjustment, must give it a go. Would also enable motor focussing.
