I will swoon when I get the chance to image it sort of properly.
I like the purple hue a lot!
my camera depicted it blue, though.
so that will be "my" Orion when I will capture it.
what do you mean with deformed stars?
care to upload an example?
I would like to see it and maybe someone here (or you?) has an explanation. always worth a learning experience.

hi, the deformed stars are from bad tracking im using the cube pro from ioptron with a skywatcher 127 mak which is to close to the max payload for good tracking. iget a combination of heart shapes and double blobs. the cubepro is also alt/az as well so if targets are high in the sky i get wicked field rotation. i dont have a tracking scope yet, does anyone know if i can use the image generated by the dslr to track and take pictures, probably a stupid question as the screen goes blank when im taking a shot anyway.
the purple is from me playing in corel pro the shots i get come out grey or bluish, this one is in the colour that came from the camera and its got more deformed stars.
