well i desperately needed to test a new reducer i got from Steve from myastroshop. The weather has been very ordinary and this arvo i literally only had a sucker hole to get this between showers and cloud. Taken with the 60mm Lunt double stacked DMk41 with a prostar 0.5 focal reducer sitting pretty on a titan mount...... I only got 30 seconds worth of clear cloudfree skies.
Taken with IC capture (the one from Image source) and Autostakker 2 - then colourised in photoshop. Still learning
Anyway the main reason for this shot was achieved - i have the soft spot removed - it was a faulty reducer
