Hi Allan,
one of these images is with 120sec exposures, the other is 5min.
Focusing is through using the moonlight focusing program (can use ASCOM as well) and i use nebulosity's fine focus command, which puts the DSLR into live view and allows me to fine tune it.
If i remeber correctly the HFU was between 1.5-2.0 during my focusing tests (lower the better), which is the best i've gotten before. My moonlight does have the stepper motor already which allowed me to get these numbers. Normally i only get 2.5-3.0 with my Meade 80mm scope when manually focusing with the knobs.
Ill throw some pictures up later when i get home.
Maybe i am being harsh on myself but to me the stars just seem bloated to the point that it sticks out like a sore thumb.
Cheers.
