Nice job Al...then you blew a fuse

I will refrain from doing a Sidonio on your image in case Dave and Doug decide to lynch me for doing it to theirs...all three of you would be hard to handle

Nice one. Looks like you need a flattener now to correct the coma in the corners.

There are a few around. Televue .8X reducer/flattener, William Optics and I believe APM sells generic flatteners for different sized scopes.

That tis a nice shot Alan - congrats. It looks like m42 is definitely on my hit list this summer - I'm really impressed with how everyone is imaging m42.

Very nice Alan, It is a much harder target than we give it credit for.

Well done.
