Hi Lars,
Yes, very satisfied with my 1600 mm-c. Weather has been a bit disruptive as usual and I have been refining my processing skills and knowledge. There are just so many more options when you can add Ha to the mixture. The level of detail it is capable of capturing is quite astounding and I have a 1 hr 40 min capture of part of IC2944, Running Chicken Nebula, probably not visible from up your way, in just Ha and it is just grey beautiful soft billows of dust. I am hoping tonight to get a better go at it and do the RGB plus more Ha.
I have also modified my astro rig to make it more rigid, no guide scope flexure and reduce weight. And I have built a travel rig using an old EQ3 mount I had. Rebuilt all the bearings and drives so now it is quite strong and more accurate. I have more time to do stuff now as I have just retired but I think my wife has other ideas. LOL
