Good luck with your OAG Pete

Thanks Mike, I am a firm believer that for narrow band images at least long exposures are a must. Seeing Rolf's mammoth 120 hour image made me wonder personally if the image would have been any different with longer exposures. My logic dictates that because of diminishing returns on noise reduction that longer exposures would be cleaner.
Your new setup looks great, I went for a TS9mmOAG and got precise parts to make an adapter from the filter wheel to the camera so I could save some space that the optical window took up.

Thanks Paul, the star shapes are ok only because photoshop gave me the darken tool and a starmask!
