thank you Ross. It was great fun to see the detail appearing in the subs - seeing was only OK at about 3 arcsec, so it was nice to be able to extract some finer stuff.

thanks Bob. took a while to sort it out, but the little scope is working fairly well now. eventual goal is a 10 or 12 inch ( still to decide), but the 8 inch is turning out to be quite well matched to the camera for the seeing I get around here. I haven't quite built up enough enthusiasm yet to try to tame another GSO Newtonian

.. Next step will be a better mount.
