I have been a little obsessed over the past four months since I got my 10" scope. And I've spent most nights banging my head against PHD/autoguiding, weight balance, flexure, etc. And most mornings banging my head against the difference between "auto white balance" and "camera white balance" etc. in DSS. And so on :-)
But the old 5" Newt is simplicity itself to guide and image with compared to the heavy high f/r 10". I was really happy with this image :-) I have about 200Gb of blurry, streaky, elongated, very ordinary images on my hard drive :-)
