Way to go Ezy. I think everyone has hit on the important first issues, polar aligning, exposure length, (eventually you will lean to take many shots at different exposure lengths and then layer mask them in PS to capture the trapezium but still get good nebulosity.) and focus (always the hardest I found using the DSI)

Unless he's using a barlow atm in his image train, Ezy would find this difficult to do Dave. With the dimensions of his chip (not much bigger than a ToUcam) he's pretty well stuck at that field of view. Which is a bit of a pain , I found the same problem.

Unless of course we can come up with a focal reducer for him

Something to work on.
