M1

Got ALMOST 2 hours on target with M1 tonight. Seeing was about perfect, with nil wind and nil cloud until 0000.

This was trying out a Vixen AX103 focal reducer on a Vixen FL102S. Seemed to work OK. Vignette perhaps was a little more than I wanted, but I was going to crop this anyway.

Need MORE data. JUST starting to see some structure in this. JUST. Maybe pushed the colour channels a touch, but seems OK, with decent star colour retention (though not perfect). Perhaps too much sharpening. Will redux as I add more data anyway.
