At what spacing did you have the ccd67 from the chip, assuming that the fr takes up 16 mm of the distance? Was it at 101mm as recommended?
Great photo of M78 by the way, something I may attempt in the near future if the rain and clouds will just go away.
Thanks, Allan
Yep Ross - cropped to remove a bit of star curvature on the right hand side and cropped a bit more to exclude some dust motes as I didn't do flats

Thanks Allan - I used the reducer without the 7mm Baader spacer on this one, so not as recommended.
Seems to work both ways with perhaps a bit of vignetting without the spacer in place.

This is a tough object to image. I found that I had to do a lot of integration to just to get the noise to an acceptable level. Good effort on it and I reckon if you double up the data you have now, you will start to get rid of all the noise.

Thanks Paul - more subs would do the trick but are unlikely as I've just sold the scope (sale pending!)

Oh you can scoff Craig!! But I've been looking at the 135mm f2L lately!!!
Hey Doug, this is ok, I think you have nailed the colours.
Yeh a bit of noise but not objectionable to me takinmg hours and hours of data isn't 100% fun everytime you image, sometimes an image is an image...soul

I'll have to add this to my list of "to do" when (I hope) I get back home.
135mm F2 eh? I was eyeballing one just down from me in Tokyo but the exchange rate is average at the moment. I have the 50mm and 200mm and realised a big gap so I got a 85mm (why oh why did I do that?) and I think the 135mm would really complement the 200mm for those where you need just a little wider.

To much free time Mike it's a worry
