I was very excited when I recently received delivery of my new Catseye gear. Collimated the imaging newtonian and took it out for a spin, only to discover that i had over tightened the mirror clips - triangle astigmatism central ! (see first attached pic)
Well I fixed that as soon as I could, and have had a chance to snap a couple of new shots, including these two of NGC6188 and also the Lagoon Nebula.
NGC6188 is 24 x 8min subs, while M8 is 32 x 4min subs - both at ISO800 with the modded 400D and 200mm f4 reflector.
Am particularly interested in feedback re colour balance. This is basically how it fell out of Pixinsight, however they don't appear as 'pink' as other renditions i've seen - in fact even my own previous M8/M20 widefield was more pink than this. So any advice on what to change appreciated
