50 x 4min subs @ ISO800, collected over two nights with a modded 400D plus dark, flat and bias frames. Processed in PixInsight (which i'm still coming to grips with).

Hi Richard,
Sounds like a big learning curve, with 8" f/6 and pixinsight!
I Have an 8" f/6 parks mirror in a dob cofiguration too, and want to do the same as you. My main problem is weight, with the parks mirror being thicker and heavier it also has a metal tube which I may have to change for something lighter.
What size secondary are you running?
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,
Justin.
