That's a great result Phil.

I've tried but have had no luck with the horsehead.

I took a few shots last night but couldn't stay awake. I'll try again soon. It's at the top of my to-do list.

Thanks Kevin, going to try this tiny scope on the rosette when weather permits.
Regards philip

You should get a really nice FOV with the 65ED, I tried two nights ago with mine and it doesn't quite fit!

Hi Colin,
I can just get the whole of the rosette in my ED120 with an Orion x0.8 focal reducer, but hope to get a really nice field of view with the ED65.
Thanks for looking , regards philip
