Took this image on Saturday night with my 10" LX200 mounted Alt-Az and F3.3 Focal Reducer. Captured and combined in Envisage.

WOw the hint of colour in the outer gas is great. How long have you had the DSI???? Top effort!

Hi Houghy, I got the DSI when I bought my LX200 last year. I couldn't really do much with it until I got my F3.3 reducer at Xmas.

It took a little while to figure out how to connect the Focal Reducer and I had been concentrating on the LPI for Lunar and planetary stuff. I've had a few experimental runs with the FR in different configurations - a lot to learn there! Still on a pretty steep learning curve.
