Thanks. I am not happy with it, though had to show SOMETHING besides my latest supernova picture for the night.
My focus was a little soft for starters. Then my over-compensating for light pollution (did NOT use the filter for a change - decided to try fixing it in PS, which was only partially successful - some stars look somewhat golden/brownish tint)
Last night was just a bummer. From the guider refusing to even guide on Tarantula until JUST before moonrise (and even then, some non-circular stars), to the cloud, to eventually the moon. I knew I was right to stop at 11pm.
Ah well, it was first true test of the new refractor, and whilst I think it still needs some tweaking, it' getting there. I flocked the lens shade yesterday, which made a MAJOR difference. I think it needs flocking from the objective to the first baffle, so will likely do that today. Northgroups black paint is not exactly matt.
