Mick,

Gorgeous shot.

Now all you need is lots of them stacked together!

Regards,

Dito, a great M42 there Mick.
Stacking a group of them would be awesome.

Nice Mick

Ditto for the multiples. Interesting thing I find about your shot is that you don't seem to get anywhere near the vignetting I am getting using the ED80 and the Meade 6.3. I know I am working with a wider field of view, but I was wondering if you could post an image somewhere of how you have the reducer/camera combo attaced to the scope.
